That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 15, 2019

Etienne’s dreams of being an Olympic diver were held back because he didn’t know how to swim.

Arthur stopped himself from diving when he thought he saw a zebra in the water.

No, this is brought to you by Fruit Stripe Gum (“Yipes! Stripes!”)

He has to wait until the girl leaves before he chickens out.

Do these stripes make my ass look big?

This scene was captured moments before Edward lost his balance and performed a world class bellyflop. He claimed he was pushed, and since he was such a demanding little cuss he was probably right, but the governess swore her innocence on a stack of Harlequin romance novels fully aware that the local priest would give her a couple of “Hail Marys” and wish he’d done the same thing.

“How long do I have to stand here in this position?”

billy thought to himself, i knew that wearing my PJs to the pool would make an impression…

“I thought they were going to drain the swamp”

The mental institution attendant was glad George like to play at swimming as it was so quiet in the woods

I don’t think I understand Steve’s caption

One of Bob Ross’ early works…

With the Olympics just 2 months away, Richard’s spends all his time practicing his signature dive.

More likely by the letter “n”….

Contemplating diving, since Edward noticed the bottom of the lake was visible once he got closer. …yet he wants to impress any onlookers!

George really didn’t want to experience the “shrinkage” of the cold water.

Doug wondered why no one had thought of just swimming away from the prison dock before….

Damn, this swim suit sure rides up on me!

“Hold that pose, Dwaine. I’ll get the shackle and weight. LOL.. just kidding. Fall backward and roll. LMAO.. just kidding.. let all the air out of your lungs and plunge in.. ROTFLMAO… just kidding… pee.. HAR! HAR! .. not kidding.”

Ok, now for my pre-dive routine: 1- Check that weenie is tucked away to avoid embarrassment. 2- JUMP

At the last second, when, unfortunately, it was too late, Bob spotted the ’gator waiting below.

“No, seriously! My back seized up and I’m stuck in this position! Go get a chiropractor. And stop laughing!”

Oh! those stripes really shows off your butt.

“Wait, are you sure? It looks kinda shallow.”

“If he doesn’t move his arse and dive in. I’m gonna kick his arse in!”

I’m going to dive in sally but stop gawking at my asswill’ya

When he said he was head over heels for her, she didn’t understand. So he was going to show her.

I prefer the skin suit version of swimming myself.
