Above ground temporary pool experience?

[Cynthia]

We had a small blow up one, it was punctured the first night by a neighborhood cat walking along the rim . . . then we replaced it with a 10' ridgepole style, got a sodium chlorinator for it, so never had to deal with chlorine the whole summer, just had fun pouring boxes of ice-cream maker salt into it. I loved it a great deal, bought a lounge float and lived on it, get a cover

I'll let the great Mitch Hedberg answer for me:

"I saw a commercial for an above ground pool. It was thirty seconds long. You know why, because that is the maxiumum amount of time you can depict yourself having fun in an above ground pool. If it was thirty one seconds the people in the pool would be saying, What do I do now, should I throw the ball back to Jimmy? Or, should I put on goggles and look at his feet?"
