Question for Ben E. Trumbles expertise?

Ben, look at this fellows darker pants legs and crotch. Do you suppose he just got splashed when they "took to water", or has he pissed himself?

I believe these are what were once called "bush pants," the lower legs lined with screening to protect against thorns and venomous snake bites. At one fine establishment where I worked doing a primate show and a snake show I wore some god-awful heavy knee high "snake boots" from the Redwing Shoe Company and intentionally kicked at a few large vipers every show to demonstrate that a strike just bounced off the boots. I believe we sold the boots i n the gift shop for a couple hundred bucks, real money back then. At another roadside attraction I pitched snakeproof leggings the same way.

Ben,
So you are also the nut that inspired the new nut, to stick his arm in the sharks mouth to show that the new chain mail wont allow the passage of teeth. I'm waiting for a big one to jerk him down, and hold him until he runs out of oxygen and drowns.
