GETTING STUCK IN THE SWIM

A salesman staying in San Diego returned to his motel a little tipsy after a few drinks in a local bar. Although it was about 12:30am, he decided to have a quick dip in the pool before retiring for the night. As none was around, he didn't bother about getting his swimming shorts from his room - just stripped off and dived in. Around 2am, the motel caretaker was roused from a deep sleep by shouts coming from the pool area. He got dressed and wandered down to investigate what sounded like desperate pleas for help. In the pool, the salesman appeared to be struggling against the wall of the swimming pool. The clerk discovered that the man's penis had become stuck in the inlet to the pump that circulated water through the pool's cleaning and filtration plant. Without daring to ask how the swimmer got himself into this predicament, the caretaker switched off the power to the pump, but the man's penis had become so swollen that he still couldn't free himself. Paramedics were summoned and after careful consideration they applied lubrication around the entry to the pump. The very distressed salesman whose quick swim had turned into a very painful four-hour soak was eventually released with no long-term after effects.
