You guys may get a kick out if this. This is just another reason why I avoid bringing or at least taking out my iphone while I'm out drinking.
My drunk friend dropped her iPhone in the toilet tonight. THEN she has the bright idea to try to fix it by putting it in the oven. Needless to say, its freakin broken.
I accidently carried my first iPhone into the atlantic ocean, in the pockets of my switsuit. Needless to say, it was and remains well and truly bricked...

You don't know how many times I reached down to swipe my pocket on my swim trunks while vacuuming out the pool today lol. I always get that quick thought in my head when I am in the water and automatically feel for my phone.
this advice comes too late, but probably would help someone else in the future: if your iphone dropped into water, take it out, wipe it on the outside, and put it in a small container containing rice. submerge the phone in the raw rice. cover it up and leave for 24 hours.
The rice trick might be OK for fresh water, but I'm afraid salt water will leave a salt etc. residue as it evaporates. I turned the unit into my roommate who works for NASA, and he treated it with some solvents. It's still sitting there untested, I guess at least partially because I've recently had a heart attack and have been undergoing treatment, so I'm just now getting back into things.
