That is the funniest thing I have ever read. My coworkers really don't understand why I go geocaching, I didn't even try to explain this one to them when they heard me laughing. At least now I'll know that my GPS will float in any situation.

Where's the 'tidy bowl man' when you REALLY need him??? :rolleyes:

Too bad you couldn't have taken a waypoint from inside there. t would make for a VERY interesting virtual cache!!! :rolleyes:

I don't think it meets the WOW factor for virts...

It does rate very high on the EWWWWwwww scale though....

Mel Tillis once told a story about coming by his cousin T-roy's place & saw him with a fishin' pole dangling around in the outhouse. Mel ask what he was doing & T-roy said he'd dropped his jacket down in there & was trying to fish it out. Mel said "surely you're not gonna wear that jacket after it's been down in the outhouse are you"? T-roy replied "of course not, but there's a samich' in the pocket"!

At least the water was blue. Green and it would of stayed and I'd have a good excuse for a Garmin 60

You could name your GPS Bob log now.

That is by far the funniest thread I have ever read in my life. :unsure: :blink:

so whats wrong with dumpster diving...that cobra GPSr i found was in a dumpster...i left it and took the coffee table. which is in my living room right now

February 3, 2005

I dropped the handset of a telephone into one. Pulled it out by the curly cord.

February 3, 2005

I used to work as a Cellphone repair tech. The worst part of that job is when someone would hand me a phone, tell me it doesn't work, and when I ask why then they tell me they dropped it in the toilet. Jeez, you couldn't have told me that BEFORE you handed it to me? :rolleyes:

That's just disgusting. I remember in Cub Scouts this one scout had to go to the outhouse so he borrowed his dad's brand-new, expensive flashlight. A minute later he came out saying he accidently dropped it in. That night every single cubscout went in the outhouse to check it out because the beam was still on and pointing up.

thats just nasty reaching back in for it. i guess i would of done the same thing.

oh the thing we do for cahcing.

Glad to hear its still ok (*laughs some more*)

December 11, 2005

WOW

This is the only thread I have actuallt read the posts. Did you know that the water pressure for the Empire State Building is because there are so many cellphones stuck in the pipes!

Thanks for the funny, but gross post.

December 11, 2005

While out caching I decided to get a Dunkin Donuts coffee and use their bathroom. I dropped my PDA in the toilet and had to fish it out. Heck, I needed those cache pages in the PDA! Gad. It was sooooo gross!! The PDA still works though.

Now I know why I read the forums all the time!

I dropped a beeper in the crapper once, and it was set to vibrate. It went off and it was the funniest thing I ever saw! :laughing:

I'd say thats a five star for both difficulty and terrain!

Man...there's a visual I didn't need..........

Frankly, if I dropped my GPSr in a spot-a-pot, or worse yet, a latrine...

I'd be buying a new GPSr.

(hey, after popping manhole lids for one whole summer surveying the septic system in a town....you wouldn't believe the crap (literally and figuratively) you see floating down those lines. I still won't touch the survey rod we used without gloves on)

You might want to take advantage of what happened and use that pot’s position as part of a multi cache or something. Make the theme something like, “Even though it took a lick’n :laughing: it kept on tick’n. Maybe the maker of your unit could make it into an advertisement and you might get rich!

Would being under "blue" water be an OK place to place a waterproof match container?

Once I used a portable outhouse that was run by a company that put the word “SATELLITE” on it. I didn’t quite manage to get into orbit, butt I got close. It happened to about that time that one of the Space Shuttles had some liquid waste freeze and plug an opening to the outside of the shuttle. [!] I wanted to draw a cartoon of the plugged Shuttle parked at one of those SATELLITE outhouses in orbit. I would have drawn a lifeline running from the Shuttle to the house. :laughing: By the way, I wonder what color of meteor that plug made when it reentered the earth’s atmosphere? I myself have seen a lot of colors in meteors but never that one.

Why/how would you take a corded phone into a jiffy john? I can hear the new quote for something obvious now, "That stands out like a GPS in a turdbowl."

At least your not one of those freakos that wears waders and hangs out with binoculars in there. Thats jsut plain out right gross.

December 14, 2005

This is exactly why I taught my kids at an early age the importance of having the ability to "pee" outside!!!

December 14, 2005

nothing is more frustrating than being in the woods looking for a cache when you have a crappy signal.

I'm surprised that no one has asked if he pushed the button to store the coordinates, then logged a "find". :wacko:

2.5k · December 14, 2005

From what I hear, the swirling motion of potty water and the movements of a Magellen user looking for a cache are similar. :wacko:

So now you can't tell where you're going, only where you've been?

Just follow the small brown trail. Good if your lost too. The searchers can smell you out! :anibad:

This may have already been pointed out ... this whole thing sounds like a very good reason to buy a new GPS. A good reason to upgrade ... :anibad:

Is that logged a find...... or found a log???

This thread had me rolling... thank you all you very witty people! LMAO

I once knocked a hairbrush off the back of the toilet just as I pushed the flush lever. The hairbrush was sucked down into the nether parts of the toilet, where it got stuck, resulting in an incomplete flush (if you take my meaning). With only one toilet in the house, this accident necessitated a sudden realignment of my priorities for the evening. No amount of tool use could dislodge the brush from above, so it was time for a trip to the hardware store to buy a new wax ring. I will spare you the details. The hairbrush was eventually recovered and discarded.

While all this was going on, my neighbor across the street, and his many political supporters, were closely monitoring the local election returns. As the precincts came in, it became apparent that he had won his bid for a city council seat, and as the front-runner, would probably be mayor. Champagne corks popped and the celebration spilled out onto the street. Seeing me through the bathroom window, which had been opened for much-needed ventilation, he invited me to join the party. I explained the problem at hand, which drew howls of laughter from the crowd. I finished remounting the toilet and cleaning the floor, the bathtub (don't ask), and took a lengthy and thorough shower before going to bed.

I think of that incident every election day. I also think of it every time I go near a toilet, outhouse, or porta-john, and am very carefull about what I put in pockets, and so on. Carelessness can land you inn deep doo-doo.

This sounds like something I would do, and yes I would have retrieved my gps

I don't think I would have been brave enough to post about it.

I had no idea that an PDA was waterproof. :antenna:

Fixed it for you :antenna:

Bringing it up again to think about it I would have madee a sling out of toilet paper to pull out my GPS, like a crane. <_< Thanks for the funniest topic ever!

I have a 60cs and until the last few days probably would have gone port potty diving also, but now that the 60csx is out...................

Guess I still would to the diving, but would give it to my wife when I got the new one!

Don't tell her I said that or my new home will be in that porta potty.

:unsure:

January 29, 2006

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!That's what I call funny!

January 30, 2006

I am working as a finish carpenter now and one day I had to borrow my bosses tape measure for a bit, well nature called and had to use the porta john.

I learned to make sure the lid is closed before you do anything because the tape fell off my pocket and right into the toilet with a loud splash.

I made it the rest of the day without him asking for it back.

January 30, 2006

Yeah heres one you missed....SEE S*** does float

Lol good one!!

I would have left it in there. Other then my kids, there's nothing I'd want back if it fell into a public toilet. gross gross gross! Gross!!!!

January 30, 2006

Thats taking paperless caching too far
