Oh, Oh my.

Yesterday, I experienced a bit of trauma. I was wearing a zip up hoodie, so instead of one deep pocket both hands can share, its got the zipper down the middle, so its one tiny shallow pocket for each hand. In one of these shallow pockets lay my favorite $3 Ray Ban ripoff sunglasses. This is important to the story I promise.
I used the men's room at work, in the type of way that takes longer than 45 seconds if you catch my drift. After "the business", I made a quick motion towards the sink. This cat-quick motion shot my sunglasses out of my shallow pocket, rocketing towards the toilet (which from this point on will be referred to as "Commode"). This would have been unnerving, however I had already pushed the handle, beginning the "Flush" cycle on the commode, quickly shifting my emotion to full-on terror.
At that moment I made the decision to throw caution to the wind; thrusting my hand into the cold swirling water of the commode. I retrieved my beloved sunglasses and proceeded to use half a bottle of antibacterial soap on my sunglasses and hands.
Given the situation, what would you have done? And more importantly, should I ever wear these sunglasses again?

Best,

Jerry

Wow !! All I can say is you must truly LOVE those sunglasses !! I would fill up a bucket or small container with hot water and Dawn dish soap and let the shades soak for a bit, maybe even add a touch of bleach....then rinse in hot water, let them air dry, and you should be good to go !! After all, you are going to eat again with those hands, right ?? Well, then, why not wear the shades again !! A very noble move for a pair of knock off Ray Bans !!

Oh my gosh, I love this story, it took me about 5 seconds to realize it was you writing this little blog and not one of your bandmates. This is so you. I can honestly say I probably would not have done the same, however, I think you would do the same in an instant to save something you love. You are a one of a kind Jer and that is why we love you so. Take care my dear!
