The Pool Guy

Not all urban legends involve homicide and mayhem. Some are merely unsettling and somewhat offensive. like the infamous tale of the man in the pool, of which everyone has undoubtedly heard some variation.

This story, the specifics of which are easily adaptable to any public pool in any city worldwide, goes as follows. Rescue personnel were required to reach a man who had been stranded. How did a man get up trapped in a swimming pool? It wasn't the entire man, just a delicate area of his anatomy that was caught in a suction filter, so to speak.

As ridiculous as it may sound, a man actually experienced it in 1994. Police in Scotland discovered him with his pants down and his business firmly in place. He was rushed to the hospital to treat his wounds, and he will always have to deal with the fact that he is the man in the famous and humorous story.
