Note to Self.....and for your benefit too

I don't care how dirty your cell phone is - DO NOT under any circumstances run it through the washing machine!

Your cell phone manufacturer - did not put this in the instructions of things to avoid. I know that you have been thinking about doing it. Resist the temptation

Now, I can attest - that it actually does spiffy the cell phone up which creates an exception to the rule. Only do this if you are planning for your cell phone to become a museum piece.

The functionality of the device - will most likely be severely compromised.


(Those cargo pockets on the legs of pants sure are handy as a place to comfortably pack your electronic devices. They are so inobtrusive that it is very easy to forget to check them before you toss the garment into the wash)
