I barely like my iPhone enough to even carry it, let alone sewer-dive for it.

It’s an electronic dog chain, AFAIC.

I didn’t take the time to read this tale of woe BUT I don’t think it is quite the same as the Irishman that drowned in the Vat of whiskey.
At least I hope not.
Anyway this couple didn’t have to leave the Vat to go to the head etc....

They also got so scared they added to their own problem.

Someone mentioned the price of the phone 320 - if that is not USD, wonder what the breakdown is?

When I was in Japan the rate was 360Yen-1USD so 320 wouldn’t be all that much..Unless of course you were living on the local wages.

Another of those unnecessary posts about “unnecessary threads”.

Don’t like it, don’t click on it; nobody elected you Mod.

Thank you for your kind words. So I guess you would also jump in the toilet and be proud to tell the world about it?

I somehow missed the part of the toilet jumper telling the story; or posting it, either. Also your logic is flawed on several other levels, but every posts serves to bump the thread.

Unless you carry the official badge,

scram, Noob.

Does that make him a saint of the PG, or prophet?
