Fun fact, you are more likely to die taking a selfie than to be killed by a shark. From 2018-2021 more than 300 people died while taking a selfie, in that same time period about 200 people were killed by sharks.

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.

Lmao, Now we need her response to that, please.

We have a trip to Alaska to see the salmon run coming up. I wouldn't be surprised if she has already booked a swim with the orcas without telling me.
