Sunday was a cleaning/remodeling day at the Funk household. So, I went into my upstairs bathroom for obvious reasons and when I saw a small towel on top of the toilet, I picked it up to put it in the laundry basket. Well, apparently, Mrs. Funk had decided the night before at around 3:30 that her pager was too loud, and had logically wrapped it in a towel and left it in the bathroom. I think you know where this is going.
When I picked up the towel, the pager fell in the toilet. Yep. Splash! This thanksgiving I’ll be most thankful for the fact that I picked up the towel before I used the bathroom. So, I know that MUSC is going to hose us on the cost of replacing the pager. I think that they cost about $20. So, I’ll just end up paying $50 or some kind of stupid mark up. Nope, I was entirely wrong. I/(We) get to pay $300 for a pager. Yippie! But what’s $300 when you have $90000 of medical school debt half way through the grand education.
Sincerely,

Why exactly was she ignoring her beeper?
She wasn't on call, then. It still beeps everyone, or it did before the washing.
Ok, gotcha.
I guess that's why my mom always taught me not to keep my electronics on top of the toilet.
Yeah, my mom and dad always said:
electricity + water + you = death.
Go figure.
yes but go hide a pistol and see what happens!
Everytime I see the post title I'm reminded of Dr. Beeper from Caddyshack.
