    I’ve had this argument with my wife, who wants to swim with Orcas, so many times.

    Me: Orcas are the sadistic murder cats of the ocean. Do not swim with them. They may decide to kill you for the fun of it.

    Her: There has never been a reported fatal orca attack! You worry too much!

    Me: How many people do you think are trying to swim with wild orcas every year? Sample size is to small. It’s like saying it’s safe to slap a grizzly bear with a pool noodle and then throw a Meringue pie in it’s face, because AFAIK, no one has ever died doing so.
