So, I don't really know what's going on, but I've had a cold at Thanksgiving, a cold before New Years, and now I've got an awesome post-nasal drip that makes me cough at night.
As a result, I've been sleeping on the couch some so as not to wake K. Last night, when the Theraflu gave out around 3 a.m., I moved to the couch. In front of me, on the coffee table were a pair of glasses, my phone (used as an alarm clock), and a box of kleenex. Next to the coffee table, on the floor so I don't knock it over in my sleep, in the morning, etc., a glass of water.
Around 5 I wake up. Hold the phone up to my face, see it's 5, and think, "I can sleep for another hour or so." I put the phone down. I then reach for kleenex, or to move my glasses, or something, and I nudge my phone, which falls off the table. Suspiciously near the glass of water.
I think, "There's no way it fell exactly into that glass of water. It must have knocked it over or went off the other side. I'm not putting my glasses on for this."
I reach down. Yup. Phone has fallen into the glass of water. I pull it out, shake it, and hear water slosh. I'm still not putting my glasses on. I take the cover off, take the battery out, shake it for a couple of minutes, wipe it out with a kleenex, shove the battery and the cover back in/on and go to sleep.
It still works this morning.
Once my father washed a pair of jeans with a cell phone still in the pocket. It somehow worked for months after that.

You can also throw one in the dumpster and it will still work for a while. Getting it out is a bit challenging though.
The amount of things in this story that had to happen in just the right way is quite impressive. It reminds of the one or two times I got my mouse trap game to work.
Did anyone actually play Mouse Trap? I just remember setting up and triggering the trap.
Nice work, sir. Maybe you can graduate to sneezing large projectiles like me.
Was that Fuck documentary any good? It's been languishing on my queue for almost a year.
Well . . . it was o.k. It wasn't as good as it should have been.
Spoiler: It also contains some scenes from adult features - there was a reason it is unrated . . . not horribly porny, but it did feature a wee bit of copulation.
