XINXIANG CITY, China (KTRK) -- A cellphone dropped into a public toilet led to the deaths of two people and several injuries following a strange series of events.

According to the South China Morning Post, a woman visiting with her husband's family in Xinxiang City, China went to use the public open-pit toilet. She then accidently dropped her brand new $320 cellphone into the sewage-filled hole.

Well, you’ve got to be smart about these things...

Another one of those unnecessary threads.

Obviously the only smart thing was the phone.

An open pit toilet — I think I would learn to hold it — cell service or not.

I'm sorry. Someone tell me again how long China has been around?

I saw one in Russia. I thought they were only in China and the Far East.

Fort Benning GA comes to mind. But everybody wore gas masks inside. At least during the summer.

I keep hearing that China will surpass the USA...

We have open pit toilets in all of our malls / S

I got as far as "open-pit toilet."

Guess that makes me a racist. Oh well.

[Boogieman]

What stupidity. Even if they could have managed to get the phone back, it would have been ruined.

Love your comment - generally the first thing that flies out of my mouth whenever something bad happens, but in this case it fits perfectly. Thanks for the laugh.
