Boy, I’m such a sheep. If someone had told me it was against pool rules to wear street clothes in a pool, and I had socks on, I’d have said sorry and taken them off. All these years I listened to authority and obeyed the rules. Stupid me. I didn’t even realize they were asking me to follow the rules because they hated whites.
They were teaching you to not clean your socks (nor underwear) in the pool.
Me, too. But if I'd known wearing socks in the pool was such a thrill ...
I suppose we could try wearing socks in the shower for a similar effect.
