Careful you don’t drop your phone in thetoilet Earl.

Sylvia just got an ear full.

You can never predict where a phone call may end up. Makes me kind of glad Mr. Watson wasn’t in the W.C. when Mr. Bell called for him.

It is considered to be in very poor taste.

at least Pearl was not in there with Earl.

Answering machines! You don’t have to always answer the phone!

Just don’t flush until the call ends.

I have an American Standard loo from circa 1948 in a half bath off my kitchen. A noisy, gurgly, Ferguson-like manly flusher. I am soooo doing this when next my daughter calls.

One of the unforseen consequenses of the microchip revolution!

At least he was done using the toilet.

I work in a call center and have heard things I cannot unhear. Worst part is… THEY call US!

Since she’s worried, they must have one of the matter transmitter cell phones

My father actually installed a phone line in the bathroom years ago, for just such a contingency…

It makes me wonder where Archie Bunker is right now and is he also on the phone.

He is right, she’s the one that called, he took the trouble to answer the phone while indisposed, she has no right to ewe.

“Caught me on the hopper, dear.”

You don’t have to answer just because it rings!

At least she can’t SEE him doing it!

WHO ELSE WOULD BE CALLING HIM ‘DAD’??

Just as well Sylvia heard the flush and nothing else.xxx

One flush if by land…two flush if by sea..The midnight ride of Earl Paul Revere..

I was in the room when a young woman dropped her phone in the toilet at McDonald’s. Boy, did she cuss!
