My previous phone and I spent an hour in a cold northern lake after being dumped from a canoe a month or two ago. I did the Google thing and was advised to immerse it in silica gel or dry rice for a few days after removing the battery. And guess what? I now have a phone that I can use to eat rice grains whenever I get hungry, but make no calls. It was and still is soggy toast. Too bad I didn't know about the alcohol thing. I could carry it around and lick the contacts when in need.

Apologies to all the Qatarites whose phone numbers I lost.
