cell phone + air hockey table = ><

You may think this sounds quite creative, but last night I got my cell phone stuck in an air hockey table. Awesome right?

My friend and I didn't feel like sticking around at a banquet in a crowded ballroom listening to over-played music, so all of us (my friend, her boyfriend, me, my boyfriend) just kinda looked around for some place that was still open on a Sunday night. We ended up at Mainevent.
So after an intense 2-on-2 air hockey game, I slipped my hand in my cardigan pocket to retrieve our game card, in the same pocket where I kept my cell phone. It wasn't there. I was on a mad hunt for my phone because earlier that year I lost my previous cell phone. After tracing every step, from the car to the parking lot to the arcade, nothing was found and a cell phone was not turned in.

I grasped the edge of the air hockey table in hopelessness, when I felt something fall into the side pocket. At first I thought it was just the puck, but when I really thought about it, I twisted my head beside the opening to see my cell phone screen, glowing in the dark. Crud.
After maybe 30ish minutes, two maintence guys, and a power drill, my cell phone back in my loving arms and in my boyfriend's pant pocket for safe keeping.

Ironically, one of the maintence men said this was a mild case compared to others he's seen. It make's me wonder...
