The Stupidity Quotient

A better measure of the human condition. (inclusive)

 

Last year my pool turned green. I kept adding hypochlorite, but whatever was growing in it seemed to be mutating with every bucket I added. I attempted to 'shock' the system, as every web site on pool maintenance suggested, so I added about 15 gallons of bleach. That not only shocked the pool, but the chlorine fumes forced me to keep the windows on my house closed for two days. The neighbors gave me dirty looks, both when the poo, turned green, and then when the chlorine fumes hit their barbeque. This year I'm selling my pool. I'm sure there's still some residual alien life in it, as the chlorine never did kill whatever it was, it just turned a brighter green, almost flourescent. So the things will move to a different part of town, and terrorize another neighborhood. I'm sure in time it will turn out like that movie .. Bodysnatchers ... that was it! and the kids in school next fall will all have blank stares by second semester.
