Hühnchen Gemuse Suppe mit Siemens Handy

So, I am officially a human idiot. This weekend I dropped our mobile phone in a bowl of chicken vegetable soup. I towel dried the phone and let it sit for a while on the radiator, but, as you can probably guess, it still smelled like soup.
I then went to the store and swapped out the SIM card and bought this new phone at right. My friend told me that there is an ad campaign for Nokia in France that shows a guy French man pulling his Nokia Mobile out of a cup tea and making a call. I think that I should be all set with this new one.
My penance for this act is twofold. One, I had pay for a new phone.
Two, I had to endure the public embarrassment of trying to explain what happened at the phone store, using only my first grade German.
They laughed. I am still ashamed.

Ha! I went swimming in Lake Champlain with a phone. Later, I sent the same one through a washer and dryer. It took a couple of days, but the thing actually came back to life!

I felt a fool, but at least I didn't have to speak German.
