One would take this as a joke - however some years ago we had a problem with
our local town pool and a few really stupid young mothers essentially
removing their child's soiled (filled) diaper while actually in the
children's pool. There is no limit to human stupidity and indifference.
Given the understandable paranoia about spreading bacteria and viruses - no
shaking hands with the Captain, and having hand sanatation staions at
strategic locations - according to a friend one line (not HAL) actually had
someone stationed at the entrance to the dining room to assure you used the
hand sanitizer before entering the dining room - one would think they'd
consider converting the hot tubs to flower arrangements. They could have an
aquatic arrangement with fountain statues of young children peeing on the
lily pads. This would also serve as a reminder to those who might consider
actually using the pool.
While I'm on this subject - consider you can't shake hands with the
Captain - but during Lifeboat drill the entire set of passengers and crew
use the same few bannisters and door knobs leading to the lifeboat deck in a
15 minute duration, then do it again running to the sail away and
pre-dinner cocktails and Hors-d'oeuvers (read this as finger food).
It seems to me that
