I do my best to have a good sense of humor about our state. Yes, I can take a joke and a joke about our state. However, in the last 17 years I've seen HUNDREDS and hundreds of Florida Man stories. It gets old, to me anyway. Where are the Nebraska Man stories ? The California Man stories ? The Rhode Island Man stories ? We in Florida sure don't have a monopoly on eccentric (to put it kindly) behavior. Most of us are pretty boring in our averageness and "normalcy".

Acceptance is the answer, as they say in Alcoholic Anonymous's Big Book. Florida Man stories are here to stay. I need to work on my acceptance.
