Uses for Rice

A friend of mine wanted help with a problem she had with her laptop.

She posted on FaceBook that her mother spilled coffee on it.

D'OH!

I was the first to respond, by suggesting what I had seen on YouTube: use a little rice to absorb the liquid.

Another of our mutual friends posted that her husband had dried out a phone that he dropped in a pool with rice and then put it on the heat register, and it was just fine.

Unfortunately, she had no rice, so she just used a hair dryer.

Probably a good move, since rice may have made it worse. Of course I wouldn't have though to use a hair dryer, since I haven't used one since I was a little kid when I took showers at 9 PM at night on Saturdays before church in the morning. Don't ask why I didn't take a shower earlier as a kid. It would have saved me from the humiliation of using my mom's hair dryer.

I just wish I were bald, then I could have tried to make a funny remark about not thinking about using a hair dryer.
