This was what I originally had in mind when I did the strip last year but I had to settle with something less funny. This is also a lot wordy than the original submission, though.

The original submission wasn't so much an embarassment as the one before this but the punchline lacked "oomph!" so I had to change the whole thing. I deviated a bit from referring to the pool to actually showing it. Being in a tropical country does have its benefits one of which is being able to swim outdoors without any trouble during November. Heh.
