Terrorist iPod

music.tinfoil reports: A fellow flying to Canada recently got himself into a bit of hot water after misplacing his iPod on an the airplane. He realised it was missing only after he returned from the bathroom. Discovering that he had just flushed his iPod down the toilet wasn't bad enough, things were going to get much worse: It all started when I got out of my seat to go to the bathroom. I went to the bathroom, washed my hands, and returned to my seat. A little while later the two stewardesses on the flight crossed each other in the aisle. They had a quick conversation that I was in earshot of. 

"I locked off the front lav. There's something in the toilet that's preventing it from flushing. Run some water and see if you can clear it." My face immediately turned red. The seat cover! I thought. It must have been too big to flush! I should have thrown it out!

"So, I had an iPod before I went to the bathroom, and now I don't. I think I know what's in the toilet." [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
