    About 10 years ago, I went out at the beginning of the summer to buy a few fresh pool noodles, and couldn’t find them anywhere. It was that way all summer.

    The next summer, they were everywhere, but now they all had a tag or sticker attached, saying “Do not insert in rectum.”

    So there were no pool noodles for an entire summer, because some guy saw one, and couldn’t resist the compulsion to stick it up his ass.

      Worse, he sued and was rewarded some form of compensation because some judge agreed that it is not obvious that pool noodles shouldn’t stuck up an ass.

        Honestly, what right-thinking, red-blooded man doesn’t look at a pool noodle and go “You know what?”
