If you should be in a hurry, because maybe you didn't want to get up right when you knew you should, and your roommate will be arriving any moment with the car to whisk you away on a much-needed escape from the city's sticky thickness, and you've got 15 minutes in which to shower, dress, eat and pack away enough provisions for an entire afternoon away from your home, and one of the items you would like very much to bring along happens to be a book, which is currently sitting atop your desk, at your office, a full five-minutes' walk from you, and you're aiming to do all these things in the allotted quarter of an hour — if you should be in that kind of hurry — do not, under any circumstances, make wild, sweeping motions with your hand near the tip of your toothbrush, causing your arm to knock said toothbrush and send it catapulting in a giant and glorious arc across the bathroom, landing (despite your vain, vain efforts to grasp the air) into the toilet bowl.
First, toothbrushes should never be flushed down toilets. So you will have to pluck it out of the dubious toilet bowl.
Secondly, no matter how much floss or mouthwash you might employ, you will not feel quite right for the rest of the day.

I'm another Caroline, (found this site via Google search) except from Canada, nearly majored in English (doing physics instead) and am 6 months and 10 days younger than you. Sorry to hear about your toothbrush, sounds like something I'd do.
