Ages ago, all the activity in the water exercise class came to a screeching halt when one of the ladies in the class came up missing an earring. We broke out the swim masks and scanned the bottom of the pool: No luck. Eventually, I realized that the ladders were built into the sides of the pool rather than hanging over them as at a typical pool. I crawled down one ladder to the bottom of the diving area. Fortunately, I picked the ladder where her earring had fallen. Unfortunately, at the time I didn’t know the trick of holding your nose and blowing against it to equalize the pressure in your ears; so the trip hurt like crazy. When I came up with the bauble, and she confirmed it was the missing earring, I said, “Do me a favor: Leave your jewelry in the locker room next time.”
