Welcome to The Forum!
I'm sure that this doesn't apply to yourself, but I worked with a man who used to teach swimming in the US Navy and he told me this story about Kentuckians.
"I used to say to the guys 'Okay, non-swimmers to the shallow end and swimmers to the deep end.' and sure enough there would be a guy in the deep-end of the pool drowning and another in the shallow-end who could swim like a fish." He sighed.
"After rescuing the guy who was drowning I used to ask 'Why?' and the Kentuckians always said the same thing. 'I signed up with ma buddy Leroy. I never go anywhere without Leroy and he can swim.' and the same in the shallow-end but in that case Leroy couldn't swim."
Another great sigh was followed by "Now I ain't saying that ALL Kentuckians is thick; but the ones I trained, they were thick."
I didn't believe a word of it, so welcome to The Forum; the place where there are no stupid questions!
