Later, when I'm out of the pool and the wife is taking her evening swim, I'll 'remember' to plug in the extension cord.

Have another beer. I never said I could walk on water with these new shoes. I said I'd float the power outlet and shock on water.

Standing in a rubber swimming pool is extremely dangerous - that bloke might slip and drop his bottle of beer. It could take an entire week to slurp it all back up again.

I only know this because of the fiasco at last years Harlow Beerfest .

Sure reason why manufacture's put safety warning in their manual like this.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
