wristbands to tell you when to get out?

Also water that's been in someone's bottom.

I was once told that you can't catch them. Now some people recommend that if you have one you let it grown and then die to become immune to them.

I seem to remember that every drop of water you drink came out of Oliver Cromwell's winkle at some point.

Or something like that, anyway.

You get in the pool. An old lady floats past you, 78 if she's a day, dubious vaginal hygiene and anal winnets and polyps. The water swirls around her most gentle parts, you begin your front crawl and swallow a mouthful of her yeasty tugget-water.

:-(

Besides. Immediately I stop swimming I force water out of my nosey, leading - inevitably - to shringers entering the water.

Swings and roundabouts imo. After all, is life metaphorically not simply a process of swimming in the feculence of your fellow man? Embrace it imo.
