Rock Walrus returns Iphone to dock

When Kadizzle prepared to go to the lake yesterday he mentally told himself many times to be sure not to put his Iphone in his shirt pocket.  According to plan that is how the trip to the lake to work on the boat started.  The Commander always gets her dander up when she gets blamed for everything, but sure enough the ensuring disaster was her fault.  At some point The Commander called. In an absent minded state Kadizzle put the phone in his T Shirt pocket.  It was not too long after that he reached over the side of the boat to put some tools on the dock.  As planned by the gods of gravity the phone slipped out of the pocket and into the water at the deepest end of the dock.

With a $200 dollar bill sinking to the bottom of the lake Kadizzle stripped his clothes off as quickly as possible.  Hopefully none of the cabin owners in the area were gazing out the window.  One could hear a some old goat saying " Look Mildred there is a rock Walrus on Quinn's dock, boy they really do have a short tusk".   On the first dive the phone could not be found.  It was essential that Loyd Bridges did not stir up the bottom or the whole mission would be hopeless.  However, by the grace of the lake gods something that resemble an Iphone was in sight on the second dive.  With great joy Lord Kadizzle came to the surface and put the phone on the dock.

Now there would be the obvious question will a phone submerged in twelve feet of water still work.  To the credit of Steve Jobs the phone slowly came back to life.  Thank god the recovery went so well. Plan B would have been super embarrassing.  Believe it or not Kadizzle lost the hand held VHF radio in almost the exact same spot.  Recovering the radio was more difficult, but a major help in the process was the fact that the radio was turned on and Kadizzle could see the light from the radio.

Plan B would have been for The Commander to call the phone so it would light up and ring under water. Who knows if this is possible?  The bad news would have been trying to get hold of the commander. Could you imagine calling on the VHF radio and asking someone, " Would you call my wife and ask her to keep calling my phone?".    Surely they would ask why and  Kadizzle would have to admit that it was under water an he needed to find it. 

Now the VHF radio is equipped with a lanyard that has flotation.  Somehow wrapping the phone in foam just does not seem like a solution.  The moral of the story is keep you phone in you pocket.
