Baths are obviously a different set of circumstances altogether but frankly anyone who drowns in a pond has no business even getting into the shower.

That said, it seems this particular pond had some wierd shit going on it.

I had to pull a 120lb girl from the water once and if she had not given into exhaustion and water being in her lungs I think we both would have drowned. When someone is drowning they're not exactly calm and cooperative.

For fun and games grab a 80lb dog throw him in the lake then try to bring him in while keeping the two of you afloat. Now imagine doing this with two boys probably around 150lbs.

In the meantime shut your pie hole until you have an idea what you're talking about.

Of course you could just explain why ponds are dangerous rather than being an aggressive c*nt about it. As it happens I've spent 4 summers as a lifeguard on the east coast of australia so I'ves swum more sinking swimmers in to shore than you can imagine, and they don't often register at 120 or under.

This won't be popular but i think atttempting to save kids in a pond when you know you CANT SWIM is more idiotic than unselfish, for it just creates another potential victim that needs rescuing.

All that said, no, i've never actually swum in a pond.

So you want the only male adult around to stand on the shore watching children thrashing around drowning. I'd imagine he felt pretty helpless up there but knew he had to attempt something.

Ever stop to think that Joe wasn't aware how deep it was, maybe thinking he could reach down and find the kids while standing up.That maybe they had hit their heads on something ? His outlook on life was a premium, he valued it and expected all persons to live the same, probably the reason he was so easy going and good natured.

Maybe you should live this way, maybe. We all think so ..........
