Yuck.

Makes me not want to go to Soak City, though I probably will anyway.

Baths with 2o,ooo people--most of whom need one!

[stashua123]

I always wonder why you use 2o,ooo people instead of 20,000 people.

[The Interpreter]

Little o's

Rhymes with nose

Or is it toes?

Someone knows!

In some places, rules about showering before using recreational water are taken very seriously.

[The Interpreter]

Places like my childhood.

And clean locker rooms, privacy, safety.

Lockers for a dime. Yes, a dime.

I can't begin to list all the reasons I avoid water parks.

Yay! This is one reason why we don't really go to public pools anymore.  We've got a nice little above ground pool in our backyard now.  Nothing fancy, but it's perfect for us in the summer.

That's one of the many reasons we went from havin a dozen public pools here down to just two.

And I am really surprised that half of them are still open.

We can't have above ground pools here, not even inflatable pools. We'd have to get an in-ground pool put in, and my parents aren't paying all that money for one when they plan to move out relatively soon.
