To round out our uniforms, we all carried a large flutter board and whistle around our necks. One the front of the shirt was written "Emergency Aquatic Staff" One day while standing at the front of the pool, a guy approached me from behind (with all the above mentioned lettering facing him) and he asked "Do you work here?" No man, I just take pool safety REALLY seriously.
To me that sounds like a typical Bill Engvall "here's your sign" types of things. But like a lot of his, I just think sometimes that an easy way of opening the conversation. We are told "hey you" is often impolite, and he doesn't know your name.

Sorry, this wasn't supposed to be a pet peave thread. I'll back off now.
