Okay, Is That A Milky Way In The Pool? Aw Man…Public Pool Closed After It’s Found *Not* To Be Candy.

A swim team noticed the problem at the Island Park pool when they arrived to practice on Wednesday morning, park district officials said. The bag likely contained dog or other animal waste, officials said.

Dave Klundt, assistant director of recreation, said the vandals “may think it’s a funny prank, but they don’t understand they’re displacing a lot of people on a hot day.”

The temperature had reached 95 degrees on Wednesday afternoon.

Klundt said workers used 42 gallons of a chemical and water solution to disinfect the pool. The process takes 12 to 18 hours, he said.

About 750 people visited the Island Park pool on Monday, parks district officials said. Three other public pools in the city have been at or near capacity this week.

JOKESTARTERS:

• The female Sheriff investigating this incident has had to step down, after vomiting repeatedly due to morning sickness (it’s a Fargo movie joke…work with it…).
• This isn’t the first time this pool has been shut down because of vandals. Previously, a large bag of urine was thrown in, and authorities shut it down because they though someone spilled apple juice in the pool.
