i dropped my mini swiss army knife into the toilet. i was about to suck it up and go in after it with my bare hands, but then i pulled a macgyver and made a little "fishing pole" out of floral wire. i was able to catch the knife on the little ring [usually meant to be used with your key ring] and lift it out of the water. i should have left it at that, but instead, i thought, "hey, i'll shake off a little excess water before i take it to the sink. wouldn't you know...it drops back in, but with the little ring to the back of the toilet. nothing with the fishing pole worked. so, in went my hand. and then there was a lot of hot water and antibacterial soap. a lot.
