Re: Innocent Faux Pas
[ QUOTE ]
Way back in high school I was life guarding at a pool. Kid with a swim mask wanders into the deep end. We didn't let masks over there to try to decrease the chances of some 400lb tub of lard cannonballing off the high board snapping the unsuspecting swimmer's neck. So I whistle at the kid, he dives right back down. Comes up for air, I whistle, little turd goes under again. Now I'm steamed cause I have to climb my lazy lifeguarding ass off the stand to yell at him. I walk over to the side of the pool, shout at the top of my lungs "What the [censored] - are you deaf!" At which point the little kid's father sprints from about 25 yards away to the side of the pool and starts to sign to the kid! Sho' nuff, kid was deaf. I didn't really feel like killin myself until about 30 mins later though, when the kid came over to me when he was leaving and said "I ann seww sary" in that mumbled little deaf kid voice. Uggh. [/ QUOTE ] wow this is so horrible
