Maureen

So this happened a few weeks ago, and it hasn't stopped being funny yet...

Awesome Roommate works at the zoo. As an animal keeper! How cool is that? We don't seem to have a problem getting hit on at the bar because she's cute to begin with, but when she plays "the zoo card," we're pretty much guaranteed free drinks all night. Thanks boys! They're so easily impressed...

So she works with the coolest animals - seals, sea lions, beavers, otters... Best. Job. Ever. So she was playing with Maureen, the sea lion - probably the coolest animal at the whole zoo, and Maureen is retrieving objects from the bottom of the pool. Awesome Roommate leaned over the pool and *plop*. What fell in? Maureen immediately dove down to the bottom of the pool and brought it to the surface. What is that silver glinty thing? Oh balls - cell phone.

I get home from work that evening, and her phone is in the fridge. What? (Apparently, the air flow in the fridge is better than using a hair dryer. Whatever). I hear the story and promptly fall off the couch laughing. Especially since it meant that Andre the Giant couldn't get a hold of her and find a way to invite himself over. Fine by me!

And so, after a night in the fridge, it still works. So if it hadn't have been for Maureen the Wonder Sea Lion, she would have been out $400. Hooray!
