When I was a child growing up in northern Minnesota, the running joke was “Don’t eat yellow snow.” If I have to explain it to you…well, you need more help than anything I’m capable of offering….
You can imagine my dismay, then, when I ran across this disturbing ode to human nature:
SWIMMING POOLS ARE PUBLIC TOILETS FOR MANY: SURVEY
A recent survey conducted by the Water Quality and Health Council asked 1000 American adults if they ever urinate in pools. One in five owned up to evacuating their bladder while in a pool, which leaves me with two thoughts:
That 20% are just those brave souls who had the honesty to own up to peeing in pools. The real percentage has got to be MUCH higher than that.
If 20% of adults do it, I can’t help but wonder about the percentage of children who pee in pools.
Let’s face it, y’all…if you’re swimming in a chlorinated pool, you’re swimming in a large toilet. I guess that would explain the chlorine, eh??
Cowabunga, dude!!!
