3am swim

Last Tuesday night I found myself doing a NYC bar crawl until 4am with my best friend Link. It’s been a while since I’ve done this, but it just seemed to unveil itself without any planning or intention. 3 bars and several vodka’s down the line we were sitting at the bar when Link decides to try and balance his iPhone on the rim of his martini glass. (Of course, for those of you that have iPhones, you know that this would be akin to seeing if your pacemaker works in a strong electromagnetic field just for the fuck of it. And of those of you that don’t have iPhones and are most likely jealous of those of us that do, yes, even you probably can’t fathom such heresy either.) As he begins to remove his hand from the completely unbalanced phone on the rim of the glass, I ask him what the hell he thinks he’s doing as, predictably, the phone takes a 3am swim in an espresso martini. The bartender, a close friend to both of us, immediately pulls the phone from back from it’s soggy grave, where upon the phone displays the following message:

This accessory is not made to work with this version of the iPhone.

Amazingly, after drying off the phone as best we could, and letting rest overnight, it still works with no glitches, although there is a subtle coffee smell.

UPDATE: 9 days later and the phone is fine.
