Cool Story Bro

Here is a story from my life. Enjoy it.

I recently had one of those slow motion moments. This is not the triumphant I-just-threw-a-basketball-into-the-net-with-one-second-left-moments. This is not even the type where you barely make it through against all the odds. This is the kind where the odds are stacked against you, you fail, and you continue to fail for no other reason other that it's just not your day.
I was brushing my teeth. For some reason, when I'm done, I snap the toothbrush out of my mouth like I'm actually trying to break my face. I succeed at least in that sense. My bottom lip starts to bleed a little. The toothbrush flies out of my hand like the stone that hit Goliath. I saw it start to fall, and I'm sure you have guessed the trajectory. "Plunk." It lands in the toilet. Unfortunatly for me, I follow the camp rule, "If it's yellow let it mellow." I now had my only toothbrush floating in my soiled toilet. I sort of made a sad little grabbing motion where the tooth brush used to be in the air about 5 seconds ago. No, I'm not an idiot. I'm just very stupid. On the other hand, I am not stupid enough to overvalue my toothbrush to the point of me sticking my hand in to get it. I try flushing it of course, but guess what? Plumbing is not completely straight. It just floats right back up. There is no avoiding it now. Somehow, through hand or spoon This toothbrush must come out. Of course I choose hand. I wrap my hand in toilet paper. This is probably not the best idea considering toilet paper is probably the most absorbent thing known to man. I reach down in grab it. The moment it touches the water, my hand gets about two pounds heavier (I thought the more toilet paper I had the less water would reach my hand) and coagulates into a single, quickly disintegration mass.
Think about this scene for a second. Imagine you just walked into the bathroom. You see a teen age kid with a bloody lip reaching into his toilet. His hand is covered with toilet paper and clutching a toothbrush.

THE END
