Baby jesus prevented my card from being flushed.

I just dropped my magnetic security card in my own pee. It slipped out of my back pocket as I stood up. I watched helplessly as it fell in slow motion. For about 2 seconds, I just stared at it in curious disbelief. Several thoughts passed through my mind- it's gone forever...will they find it and indentify me by the magnetic strip?... maybe it can be saved... i'm not putting my hand in pee, even if it's my own...

Rapidly, I assessed that the card was bigger than the hole and therefore I could flush it without it going down and then reach for it, just as the new, clean water came in and was still at a low level. So that's what I did ladies and gentlemens.

Then I washed it for a long, long time. Then I washed my hands for a long, long time.

It will be forever known as the pee card, but only to me. One day, someone else will use that card, unwittigly fingering the pee that remains, despite the thorough washing. Not so bad for me because at least it's my pee.

The moral of the story is pee on something if you want to feel like a big man.
Wait, I don't think that's it exactly.
The moral of the story is pee is better than poo.
No.
The moral of the story is be nice to your local cleaning staff so, if they do find your magnetic card blocking up any toilet, they will not notify the local authorities when they scan it to see who the big idiot was. They will let you off easy with a polite warning, whispered in hushed tones for discreteness.
Or...
Only drop things in toilets that are bigger than the holes so you can still flush and retrieve.

Thank-you baby jesus.
