Are you enjoying the last few weeks of swimmin’ pool season, kids? Tom in Fayetteville, Arkansas was…until he saw the 11th commandment posted nearby.
And if that doesn’t make you want to suit up and dive in…

This is why I prefer to swim in the ocean. Just stay away from the sewerage outlet…..

The illustration of the woman waving, oblivious to the fact that the child left his suit at home, is an instant classic.
Hey, who said she could bring her dog within the pool enclosure?

The Pool’s Closed due to AIDS one is just a 4chan meme someone drew on a piece of paper

“Due to AIDS & stingrays (who also have AIDS).”
LOL. That one is my favorite. I might use it.

So how are they going to know if you’ve had diarrhea in the past two weeks? Unless they’ve got sensors up your ass that constantly monitor the consistency of your poo based on the Bristol Stool Scale (You know I had to work that in somehow.
), you’re just operating on the Honor System. And we all know how that goes. :/

I think my favourite part is the parenthetical ‘2′ in the first one. Really, if someone needs numerical assurance that the word they just read really and truly was ‘two’, they’re probably not the kind of person who can confirm whether or not they’ve had diarrhea in the past two weeks.

Even “non-swimmers shall not use the pool”. Don’t even think about using the pool. Stop looking at the pool!

Do boils even exist anymore? I thought they were something that only existed in the Middle Ages or were mythical or something. Like, ‘He picked at his boil as he watched his pet dragon frolicing in the clouds.”

I cannot be the only person who immediately thought about Steve Irwin. He didn’t die from any ordinary stingray (because that’s too normal for Steve Irwin), it was a stingray with AIDS! Now my world makes sense.

What do you mean I can’t catch some nasty communicable disease by swimming in the public pool anymore?
This is an outrage! I can’t even pee in a pool!? You mean I have to piss in the ocean?
What the hell is this country coming to?

Does sign number two condone adults who are not toilet trained?
I only wonder because kids around that age don’t even know yet that the pool is excellent cover for the occasional clandestine whiz.

It’s not fair…
I follow a strict diet of peanuts and cheddar cheese for two weeks, just to firm things up, but as soon as I get near the pool, that sign scares the Hershey Squirts right outta me!

Yeah homey, the pool’s closed, so we filled it with carp and covered it with Plexiglass; now it’s a funky Disco!

I remember some lady talking about the two-week rule after having diarrhea on Oprah one time. It’s to prevent Hepatitis. However, I think it’s a bit extreme to make the kid wait a whole two weeks. An no, nobody at the pool is going to know if you’ve had diarrhea in the past two weeks. It’s unenforceable, anal-retentive rule.

Does anyone else find the artwork in picture #3 creepy as hell? Those people look deformed. I think there might be something worse than pee in that pool mutating them…

Non-swimmers can’t use the pool without restrictions? Isn’t the lack of swimming the definition of not using the pool? Head…so hurting…

This is blatant discrimination against sick people.

Disease.
Think of all the time, money and energy mankind has expended trying to erdicate it from our lives.
I’ve found a way to do it.
FOR FREE.
From this moment forward, we all agree to start calling it: “datease.”
My work is done.

So, according to sign #2, it’s only the children, who are not potty trained or that have dripping orifices or oozing pus filled sores, that are banned from using the pool. Adults with the same afflictions, evidently can jump right in!

This is bullshit! Just because I’ve got diarrhea, skin lesions, communicable diseases, open sores, boils, a cold, nasal and ear discharge, AIDS, an open glass container, a couple tacos, a full bladder, no swimsuit, and a pet stingray, I can’t fucking go swimming?
That’s discrimination.
