You can thank my Mom for this post. She just handed me an article from Parade Magazine, entitled, "How Safe Is Water In Swimming Pools?" Let me just say: Ohhhh, and you thought the ocean was a toilet.
People, if you've got 20 friends, four of them are total pigs. "A recent survey by the Water Quality & Health Council found that nearly one in five Americans admit to having peed in a pool." Does anyone make adult-size Little Swimmers? There's a helluva untapped market out there.
So, okay, gross. But, hold up. Who actually cops to whizzing in the pool water? I'd love to be that pollster.
"Um, excuse me, I hate to bother you while you're tanning, but could you answer a few questions for a survey?"
"Oh, sure!"
"Have you pissed in the neighborhood swimming pool?"
Parade continues: "Even Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps confessed to doing so in a television appearance."
If nature called while you were gunning for your eighth gold, would you really exit the pool? Exactly. Michael gets a pass on the hall pass.
But, for all you non-medalers, WTF? Get your ass out of the water and skip to the loo. Stat!

interesting post! don't you think michael phelps should consider going to the bathroom before he gets in the water?? on a side note meredith peed in the pool just the other day!!!
Ha! Ha! Remind me to dis-invite you to the neighborhood pool. ;}
We had an instance while vacationing in FL where Kaila got out of the pool (in front of tons of people) and screamed, "MOMMY, I THINK IT'S TOO LATE. THE PEE CAME OUT. MOMMYYYYYYYYY! HELP!"
I started screaming for her to hold it, put her in a football hold and ran with her to the bathroom.
Who knows where the pee really ended up. I kept my head above water the rest of the time.
