The Makeover
When I was swimming at the Y, I noticed that a couple of the swimmers had nice pull-buoys.  Unlike the Y ones, they weren't covered in mildew.  I briefly contemplated buying one myself, but then decided against it because that would be just one more thing I would have to bring with me not to mention if I forgot to take it out of my swim bag it would eventually look like the ones at the Y.  However, as I was getting out of the pool, I noticed a big pile of brand-new pull-buoys on the deck.  Next to them was a pile of brand-new kickboards.  I went up to the lifeguard and jokingly asked him if the pool had gotten a makeover.  I swear I'm not making up his response.  He said excitedly, "Yes, the pool did get a makeover!  We got new light bulbs!"  I burst out laughing as I pictured myself telling everyone that my kitchen had just gotten a makeover since I recently changed the light bulbs.  The lifeguard looked at me like I was crazy, apparently the new light bulbs sucked out his sense of humor, and then told me that they had also gotten new pull-buoys, kickboards, and a brand-new lifeguard chair for the other side of the pool.

Now all they need are new lifeguards (or at least some refurbished clue for the existing lifeguards).

Yeah, YOU try changing the lightbulbs at the pool! All the water runs out AND you get electrocuted and it SUCKS! LOL
I should have clarified: the light bulbs were in the ceiling not the pool.
