  1. Post editors, you (once again) outdid yourselves with this batch of pool misadventures! 10 this week, and I think all but 2 had diving boards; long gone now. The climb up slides too.

    Numbers 2, 3 and 5 are the most wonderfully embarrassing/degrading. I also love number 4 with the plunger. 7 and 9 are great too. Number 10 is pretty scary and hate to say it, has probably happened in real life at one time or another.
