It’s not deep, so I won’t drown, but even more importantly, my butt cheeks will be jjjuuuusssttt protruding from the water. Here’s why I’m telling you this. For no reason at all, I want you to just incessantly throw sand at my butt cheeks and take pics the entire time. Actually, maybe do a video so I can grab the perfect screenshot. I don’t care if it takes all day. The point is, I need a picture of me, just me, with sand bouncing off of my butt cheeks. It’s for work. Okay, let’s do it.”
