Gas prices were so outta control that Joe had to take a job at the city pool. He only made enough money per week to fill his dad's tank 1.5 times but the kids who swam in the pool made the job worth doing for him, as there was nothing they liked more than rubbing his legs down poolside.
It was a summer job and of course being summer, that meant that the hair on Joe's legs had been turning blonde for a couple of months (since at least late spring) and would be almost fully blonde at this time. His leg hair would even stand on end when wet and if given a proper rubdown and up.
So it was that for much of that whole summer, all of the local youths were measuring each others coolness by how good they were at doing this, and how cool Joe said they were. His legs had become a commodity of cool.
He also learned about "roaches" while working there.
