So, I had jury duty yesterday and while I was waiting in the jury pool for our case to be called, I took a trip to the little boys' room.
Well, wouldn't you know it, when I reached down to flush the toilet, my pen fell off my shirt at headed straight for its watery grave.
Since the pen was the only solid part of the 'waste', I thought for a fraction of a nanosecond about retrieving it. Um...no, this is a very public restroom, I think I?ll pass. I flush and the pen remains motionless in the bottom of its ceramic tomb. "Oh well", I thought and headed back to the waiting room.
Ten minutes later, one of the ladies that works for the county steps up in front of everyone and asks, ?Did one of you gentlemen loose a pen in the toilet??, and she holds it up, no glove on her hand or nothing.
Now, what person in their right mind would stand up in front of a room full of people and claim their pen? Not I, not for some $1 pen with a broken clip. Everyone just chuckled and went about their business.
So I?m thinking, a) who stuck their hand in the toilet to recover the pen, and
b) just who did they think would claim that pen after they had just announced it had been doing laps in the toilet?

Mods, if you frown of this type of bathroom humor, you may lock this thread, but I tried to keep it a fairly clean story. Thanks.
