I hate that this beach ball survived my butt pop attempts. It's stubborn and it's strong. But not strong enough to withstand my cigarette! I light up and try to pop the ball under my body weight while I smoke, bouncing on it, lying on it, teasing it with being popped...but when push comes to shove, I do the necessary. Hearing the air escaping as I lie on it while it's deflating is the most satisfying noise ever!
