Of course this person is from Florida. People down here are simply built differently.


Florida has the third largest population. They don't really have more insane people per capita than any other state, but they large population means they have a lot of them.


I was under the impression that the main reason for the "Florida Man" stereotype was that Florida police reports are public information whereas in other states they're more private. Therefore the number of crazy police reports circulating is much higher for Florida. Not sure how much truth there is to that.


That's my understanding too. The "Sunshine Laws", IIRC


You know when the headline starts with "Florida man" it's going to be something wild.
