Ain’t diversity grand?

Just don’t swim in public pools at all.

Don’t do it.

Thank God for the CDC. Every time in the past, when I have had a case of diarrhea, I have always made a “bee-line” to a nearby hotel pool.

We are so fortunate to have the government advise us on these difficult to handle situations.

And what about the poor goldfish? What to do??

I never go into any pool or hot tub that anyone else has been in.
(which means I NEVER go into those)

Studies have shown that every door knob or handle sampled and tested are contaminated with human feces.

Now, imagine what's on the handles of the spoons/utensils at "all you can eat" restaurants.

Common sense is long dead in this country.

In the book Camp Of The Saints, arab immigrants with gonorrhea contaminated the public pools in France. The result was horrible infections for the children who swam there. Grossss! I only swim in the Potomac River the Occoquan River and the Rappahannock River. Pools are human broth.

If they do that to the pools imagine what they do behind closed doors. You can’t sanitize a mattress. Really inspires the urge to travel doesn’t it?

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

A guy I know in the hospitality industry says you would never go into a hotel pool or spa if you saw the tests they do on the water (and what gets cleaned and filtered out). Lots of nasty stuff, no way to know if the chemicals killed yesterday’s bugs before guests get back in today. You’re better off swimming in fish pee.
