My daughter tells me I need new material because she's heard the two previous posts before. That put a little pressure on! So this morning while jogging my 3 miles in the lazy river at the pool I decided to use some pool experiences....
.
You've heard of personification- where you give animals human characteristics. Would it be called animalification when you bestow animal characteristics on a person?? I often see people who remind me of animals. There's Porpoise Guy at the pool; his head is shaped like that of a porpoise- has a long blunt snout. Then there's the Wooly Mammoth, the Walrus, and Dog-faced Lady.......

There's also Col. Sanders and Jimmy Carter. Colonel Sanders (pointy white beard) and another guy I think of as Mr. Dick are perverts. You can usually find them  blissfully leaning forward against the water jets. When they get in, I GET OUT! The pool often attracts weird guys. You can find them in the hot tub leering at the women bouncing up and down in the water exercise classes. There was one guy who though it would be fun to swim underwater and touch my leg. Have you ever tried to give a well placed kick underwater? doesn't work too well unfortunately. There was a big hairy guy whose ass was always hanging out of his swim trunks who used to come and try to rub up against some of the women in an exercise class I was in. Most were a little frightened of him I think. I just went over to the pool manager and said , "see that guy? If he touches me I'm going to drown him!" Problem solved. He was talked to and given his own space.
Once there was a woman who got into the pool with a long wool winter coat on. It was very strange.  That was another time I though it might be best to leave. Another older woman comes who always wears her swimsuit backwards. People are VERY interesting..............................
