It’s the girls (and guys) he’s been with who would be making that claim.

\*\* Why don’t people bathe?

Would you get into an indoor pool at the gym?  
\*\*

Not until the other people bathe.

Seriously — when I use a public pool at a gym they all insist on pre-showering. They usually have the entrance through the shower room, in fact. Why are some Dopers freaked out about public pools?

**Why did I get a letter asking me to join the American Chemical Society?  
Are males being led to the slaughter?**

Whatever you do, don’t take advantage of the “No intiation Fee, No Contract” introductory offer!

**Would you get into an indoor pool at the gym?  
How Would You Describe Such A Conservative?**

Umm, one with body issues?

**Anyone familiar with heart-rate monitors?  
What’s the stretchy tube/scarf thing called that you pull over your head & goes around your neck?**

I’m not that familiar with them, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t a heart-rate monitor.

**You spot an “alien”  
Parents: How would you have handled this playground situation?**

Notify a teacher, preferably a science teacher.
