Transcript:
Pig: Hey, Goat. Whatcha doing today?
Rat: He's taking a bath with hundreds of marginally clean strangers.
Goat: I'm going swimming at the public pool.
Rat: I think I said that.
For the benefit of those of you in the US of A, Canada has just elected a new Prime Minister. This is a move back to a more balanced, centerist type of government and away from what many would call a fanatical right-wing climate that has prevailed here over the last decade.Stay tuned.
Old Moms Mabley jokeā¦A motel managerās conversation with a guest:Mgr ā Sir, Iām going to have to ask you to leave the motel.Guest ā But why? I pay my bill.Mgr ā Yes sir, but weāve had numerous complaints about you peeing in the swimming pool.Guest ā So what? Everyone pees in the swimming pool.Mgr ā Yes sir, but not from the high diving board.
Iāve been swimming in public pools all my life and still here after 70+ years. Canāt be any worse than sitting in front of a computer or TV all day and not getting any exercise at all.
i suppose it depends who you talk to. You must talk to only liberals. it reminds me of the famous quote by New Yorker and film critic Pauline Kael: āI canāt believe Nixon won. Nobody I know voted for him.ā Electoral result: Nixon 520, McGovern 17, Hospers 1.
Even when the Conservatives won a majority of seats, they only garnered 35% of the votes. Thatās what happens when the opposition gets divided between two major parties. And just by the way, many of my (usually) right-wing friends didnāt want him, either.

This is why pools have filtration systems and an excess of bleach. But trust Rat to put the worst spin on it possible.
