Health codes are likely better worded than this sign

Today was my last shift as a lifeguard! It's been a great part-time job to pay the rent while I was in college. It's chill, it makes above minimum wage, and I get paid to get a tan. I'll miss the job and the people.

But moving on means that I can finally make fun of the terrible sign we have by our hot tub.

Here's what it says:

Children under 15 not allowed past this point

Children overheat more than adults

Overheating causes drowsiness, confusion, and in extreme conditions organ damage in children.

Thank you for complying with our health code.

The secret, though, is that the health code doesn't say anything about 15-year-old children. The health code says it's unsafe for children under 10 to be in the hot tub. Not 15. Basically, the old people at our pool got upset that they didn't have an adult only place in the pool area. They complained until we changed the rule to 15 and added this convenient explanatory sign.

Which explains why the sign is so unconvincing.

It starts with: children overheat more than adults. What does that even mean? More what? More often? With more speed? They're more likely?

Nope. Just more.

The next line is pretty simple, all the signs and symptoms of overheating; it causes drowsiness, confusion, and in extreme conditions organ damage in children.

In children.

Just children.

Adults? Nah. Drowsiness and organ damage only occurs in children in the hot tub. (Side note that confusion to organ damage seems like it escalated very quickly).

And then to finish it off, the sign thanks everyone for complying with our health code. Pffft. Yeah, health code. The official print and big lettering of the sign doesn't make the wording any less ridiculous.
