im not going to search for it, find it and post it here but who's seen that .gif of that girl who craps in the hot tub and everyone bolts outta there and she is so ashamed

I've seen it before. It is uncomfortable.

Not sure what area exactly.

So none of you will get into a pool with other people?

Do you stay in hotel rooms?

I prefer not to, but sometimes it's unavoidable. I usually bring my own sheet and pillow. I'm pretty sure the person getting paid minimum wage is doing a fantastic job of cleaning up the hotel room though.

I think some of you people are certifiably insane.

Lol, yeah. Bringing your own sheets & pillow cases to a hotel room? I guess I tend to stay in nicer hotels that typically wouldn't require me to change sheets & pillow cases.

How could a person travel if all they worry about is crazy [expletive] like that?? Might as well just trap yourself in the house because you're getting germs everywhere you go.

I guess I just don't even get all up in arms about crap like this. A public pool is absolutely no worry, a hot tub I probably wouldn't really think twice either (because I've been in them)...although I would definitely avoid a gym hot tub filled w/ naked old men.

You guys, we have this great thing called skin. It encases our body, keeps bad [expletive] out and the best part? You can wash it and re-use it as much as you want!

I believe my wife just showed my an article a couple days ago stating that part of the Lake of the Ozarks was unswimmable because of ecoli contamination.

That's what happens when the houses along the shore have ancient septic systems.

Or when those 50 ft. cruisers decide to dump their boats septic systems directly into the lake.

Okay, this has been bugging me. I didn't really have time to look into it, but I did find this article. It never mentions boats and focuses on the septic systems.

I've been out there a couple times with a friend who has a larger cruiser with holding tanks and I could have sworn they had to get it cleaned out at a marina.

Regardless, it appears that the sewage coming from the surrounding land is the problem moreso than the boats...

On a tangent, there is a marina on the Arkansas River that still allows houseboats to dump directly to the water, but they require all boats on the lakes to have their tanks emptied at a marina.

I bring my own pillow, not pillow case. and yes I'm crazy.

That brings up a different question. If you had to choose, what would you rather swim in, diluted urine or diluted (can this even be diluted?) spooge?

Urine, by itself, is sterile. There isn't any bacteria in it, so I don't know why people freak over pee. Spooge - there more of a risk of something being in it before being diluted.
