dh had to travel last week. while he was at the airport, he went to the restroom. after he washed his hands and went to throw the paper towels away, his wedding band flew off his hand and into the trash.
so dh had the tres dignified experience of crawling around on the airport restroom, unhitching the trashcan from the counter, and then digging around in it for his ring.
thank goodness this was on the return flight.
