THE LEGEND OF REDFORD POOL.

ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO WHEN THE REDFORD PUBLIC POOL HAD A 25 FOOT
HIGH DIVING PLATFORM THERE WAS THIS ADVENTUROUS MAN WHO
WISHED TO DIVE OFF THE 25 FOOT PLATFORM. AFTER A BIT OF
NEGOTIATION THE LIFE GUARD AT THE POOL ALLOWED THE MAN
TO DIVE OFF THE HIGH DIVE. WELL, IT HAPPENED TO BE A VERY
WINDY DAY THAT DAY AND JUST AS THE MAN LEAPED OFF THE HIGH
DIVE A HUGE GUST OF WIND CAME BY AND SAILED HIM ACROSS
THE POOL AND DASHED HIS GUTS ALL OVER THE SIDEWALK.

Submitter comment: THIS STORY IS TO BE TAKEN AS TRUE.
