Seems reasonable to me.

In Florida, we let Louisiana Woman splash around in the water because we like our hands attached to our arms.

Louisiana is the one state in the (sort of) Union I have not been to, but I will keep that in mind in case I ever visit.

Come on down sometime. We have some of the best food and nicest people anywhere. And free saunas all summer long.

And not just in the summer! I remember one Mardi Gras trip, upper 90's (both heat and humidity) in February!

Louisiana is one of my favorite places.

Great people, great music, some of the best restaurants I have ever been to.

And don't just go to New Orleans. Be sure to visit Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, etc.

Years ago, I spent about 5 weeks on an oil & gas intervention vessel doing a project in the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the crew was from Louisiana or Alabama.

One of the Louisiana guys was talking about his property back home so I asked him how many gators were on it. He gave me a weird look and replied, "That's an affront to my hunting skills! There are no gators on my land!"

I guess the YouTuber fisherwoman isn't a Louisiana hunter.

I think the same about any body of water, large or small, in Florida.

That was pretty good. "And just in case you didn't understand me the first time..." Ha !

There is a guy on a Florida video with about the same script. Can't be sure who stole it from whom.

Found the short, no embed code.

That reminds me of what Mr. John, an elderly black farmer who lived "down the creek" from us when I was a kid, told us about the creek behind his house. We asked if we could catch crawdads there and he replied, "Sho, chile, you ketch as many as you wants". We asked if there were any copperheads or cottonmouth snakes in there and his answer, "Honey, if they is enuff water to cover the top of the crawdad, they is plenty enuff for a whole family of snakes - but dey won't mess with you as long as you don't makes em mad."

We had to ask: "Mr. John, what is it that makes them mad?" His answer: "Skinny little boys with legs dat be white as the bark on an old "sikymor" tree and be wadin roun in dey crick". I looked down at the skin shining through several holes in my creek-wading jeans. Yep, there was a pair of skinny legs in there and, yep, they had a strong resemblance to that sycamore tree bark.

Needless to say, we NEVER hunted for crawdads in that stretch of "crick"! I am still grateful for the kindness of that old man and his gentle way of saying, don't do something stupid that you will regret. Mr. John's vocabulary skills might have been somewhat limited, but his honesty and knowledge of the hills and hollows around us was well-respected.

As a professional analyst, I have reviewed this video and can find no error in methodology or execution. I would submit that this should become a standard practice in testing and be added to MIL-STD-810 immediately.
