I'm beginning to wonder if Uttar Pradesh isn't India's Florida.

I hope so. I'm starting to see a pattern in Florida Man's behavior. Typically something to do with fucking alligators, public indecency, and crack or meth. I need some variety.

It's basically the same thing but in India. Lots of conservative dimwits with too much free time and alcohol.

Honestly this isn't that far off base for some of my mom's Yooper relatives, meth is a hell of a drug
