I have been a member here for awhile but I don't post much because of all the childish bickering, but I had to tell someone this story that would appreciate it!
So me and my GF went fishing Saturday night (Susquehanna River). We didn't catch to much until it started getting dark. We were fishing from a HUGE rock with a deep hole in front of it. I got the first fish and it was a monster!! GIANT Channel catfish, but just as I got it to the rock my line ripped!
Then I caught another one! This one was only 27", decent but much smaller then the first one I caught. My GF grabbed my iPhone 3GS and snapped a few pics. Almost right after that she caught one, about 15". She was excited because it was her first fish so she grabbed my iPhone again and snapped a few pics, but this time I heard a strange noise. Almost like the sound of an iPhone hitting a rock and sliding into the water. But I thought nah, She would never let that happen...
Well then I heard her crying and thought uh oh, this can't be good! Last thing I remember hearing is "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry it was an accident"
Well needless to say, she dropped my poor phone in the river. After beating the crap out of her, I cleaned up the blood and weighed my options.
Do I...
A. Jump in the deep dark hole in the snapper turtle filled Susquehanna River at 11 at night after already drinking a few to many beers?
B. Throw her in the river and not let her come back out until the phone is in her hand?
C. Go home crying the whole way with her corpse in the trunk?
Well since I am an old man and a giant ***** I chose C! I drove my sorry ass home while my iPhone was swimming with da fishes (I Know, I know I SUCK!).
I had a few more beers after I got home and got a shower. Its about 1AM and my phone is at the bottom of the river!
I couldn't take it anymore, I got dressed and went back to the phone swallowing hole(my mom picked me up). By this time it's close to 2AM and my poor iPhone has been submerged for almost 3hrs!!! After we got there, I took a few deep breaths and with a snapper turtle beating board in my hand I dove in! Luckily the hole was not as deep as I thought, it was only about to my shoulders. To make an already too long story a little shorter I FOUND IT!!!
Here comes the good part...I HAD 2 MISSED CALLS AND 3 MESSAGES!!!!
That's right, after 3 hours at the bottom of a river the phone was still working!! Well that is until my drunken ass tried to turn it off quick, then an apple appeared on the screen then blanked out.
I seriously doubt the phone will ever turn on again. But it now has a cracked and severely scratched screen and is sitting in a bowl of rice in my lizard room.
I learned a few things from this...
1. I am stupid.
2. girls are stupid.
3. I love and miss my iPhone more then any girl I have ever known.
4. Never take your phone fishing with you.
5. My 2 year old Cingular 8525 gets WAY better reception and battery life then my month old iPhone.
6. iPhone rocks, but luckily doesn't make good bait!
Hopefully this story will teach some of you young punks something valuable!
Thanks for reading!!
