In Which I Am A Model Of Grace

I put a thumb drive in my shirt pocket and head upstairs towards the computer. The cats are being needy, so I stop to feed them. As I am bending over the kitten's dish, the thumb drive slips out of my pocket and lands in the water dish. Crap! I fish it out and go downstairs to submerge it in the rice container.

Instead, as the pantry is dark and I am groggy, I put it in the flour. As soon as I realize I have, in fact, breaded the thumb drive, I jerk it back out. When I do this, I knock the cornstarch off the shelf and it lands in the kitten's downstairs water dish, spilling water all over. I pick the box up before any cornstarch spills. I dry off the box. I pull the thumb drive back out and blow the flour off as well as I can and put it in the rice container. Then I mop up the spilled water.

Now I just have to remember to take the thumb drive out so that I don't accidentally cook it along with the rice.

If that happens, you just need to copy a lot of ones off of the thumb drive. The ones are pointier and more abrasive than the zeros, so they clean better.

Note, not ON to the thumb drive, if you do that, the sticky stuff gets gunked up inside it and causes file corruption. You need to make sure that the ones move from the drive to your computer, where the gunk can get blown out by the fans.
