Saved by the Poo Shelf

For those of you who are not familiar with it, the continental toilet is different to those we have back in the UK. There is a shelf, which I think is pretty much universally known as the Poo Shelf. I do not think I need to go into why this is so, this picture here says more than enough:

I normally find it quite gross that all the toilets here are like this (I have many stories to tell but I will not in such a public place, these stories are best reserved for those who appreciate such humour. Alastair, for example) Today however, I have been saved by the Poo Shelf. Foolishly, I dropped my keys in the toilet. Now, in a normal toilet this would have been totally disastrous. Everyone remembers the time I swallowed a pound and after rescuing it, it was used to pay at the cinema (Crystal Peaks I think). Thanks to the PS, my keys fell a much shorter distance, and barely even got wet. What's more, my USB stick remained undamaged. I am therefore eternally grateful to whoever designed the stupid toilets in German speaking countries. Danke schön!
