Hey, where'd my phone go?

Down the toilet evidently!

More and more mobile phones are turning up in the sewage system of the Helsinki Metropolitan area, according to Helsinki Water, which serves over one million households. It's not known if the phones are purposely or accidentally disposed of, but with 4.8m mobile users in Finland, it's reasonable to expect a certain number of toilet-related mobile incidents.

Chuck Norris once bought a cell phone. He put it in his coat pocket and when Chuck flexed, the cell phone got scared and broke itself.

All right, poll time. Who actually uses their cell phone while on the loo?

Not me. I don't even have a cell phone.

The only people I talk to with mine are my younger brother and my mommy.

I've never used my phone in the bathroom, but with the crappy signal strength it gets, there have been many times when I've seriously considered doing something as drastic as flushing it.

I think it's rude to use the cell phone in the 'loo' so I always turn mine off for that. I don't want to recieve a call there or place one either. If you are one of those that must use your phone in the 'loo' don't call me.
