You were the one that made a joke. I was the lifeguard that had to clear the pool, comfort the swim team, re-schedule everything, skim and vacuum the pool, re-test the pH levels, backwash, drain, re-fill, chlorinate, replace diatomaceous earth, check pressures, do paperwork, and apologize to everyone, including competitive swimmers, who lost their one day at the pool. Some wept. Congratulations: you were one of the “cool kids.”

Did you get any overtime pay?
