Damn. Exactly. I've almost done that, but just imagine these days....that
titanium stylus is more like gold ;)

This actually happened to me. I had owned my 2000 for less than a week
and found myself in urgent need of the afore mentioned facility. I could
tell it was going to be a while and so got out my 2000. My hands were
dry and that all metal 2000 pen is so slippery that I fumbled it. It
bounced around for an agonizing moment before dropping right into the
depths. I knew exactly how much a replacement pen would cost and how
long it would take to get. In the end I decided that $25 and a week or
more of missing stylus was worse than a moment of discomfort and a lot
of hot water hand washing. After all after you have a few kids...
The moral of the story is: When using stylus based computers in the
potty, close ranks until you have the stylus deployed and stable.
