My memory stick went through a full-cycle of laundry a few weeks ago. It still works like the day I bought it.

Your camera, however.

Ugh, I hate it when that happens. I spilt a bottle of fresca in my purse not to long ago and it got all over my cell phone, unsurprisingly it started malfunctioning. I just left it alone for awhile until it fixed itself, which is what I do with all my electronics.

I went swimming in a river once with my phone still in my swimtrunks' pocket.

It was dead when I pulled it out, but after a day in the recharger, it went back to normal.

Sodas are fucking lethal.

I can't imagine that your camera is going to work. Even if it does the lenses will probably be filthy.

Hope everything works out dolemite.

Reminds me of the time I was drunk and trying to piss into trough at old tiger stadium in detroit, I leaned over and dropped my Zach Morris sized flip phone (old school baby) right into the solid 2 inches of piss on the bottom. I gave my buddy 20 bucks to get it out for me. It was dead.

I hope you still remind him he did that.

Lucky bastard. I hot-tubbed a slim/card camera (fit in my boardshorts pocket) and spend inordinate amounts of my life trying to bring that 300 dollar fucker back...
