The pool offers a lot more than swimming: volley ball, shuffle board, tether ball... But it's important to remember safety when you're out of the water, too. You don't want your friendly game of touch football to turn into the Hindenburg. Wear sunscreen, play fair, and, for the love of Jesus DO NOT signal touchdowns!
This sign, along with the posts from the last two weeks, was plastered to the side of my uncle's pool. And it very clearly depicts someone signaling a touchdown.
What could possibly be wrong with reffing a friendly game of football at the poolside? Let me tell you!
Some of you may remember a certain "King of Kings" statue that had previously adorned the roadside of I-75 near Monroe, Ohio. It was known colloquially as "Big Butter Jesus," "Big J," and..."Touchdown Jesus." (The reasons for that last one should be apparent.)
I want to make two very important points here. 1) The sculpture, whatever you want to call it, is by the poolside. 2) It was struck by lightning on June 14th of this year.
Listen, we all want to be martyrs for Christ, but I don't see anyone lining up to get crucified. Unless you want to go the route of "Big J," DO NOT signal touchdowns at the pool!
