If you find yourself in Oklahoma, in August, melding with the seat of a car due to the heat and boredom, and you think to yourself: How about swimming in a lake? Wouldn't that be divine?
My advice: Don't.
First off, they are all man-made due to power plant dams. Secondly, there are screaming hicks that drunkenly throw their kids in the water till 3AM while chasing their flea ridden unleashed dogs. Thirdly, there are cicadas (the world's loudest most horrible sounding bug. something like a three year old scratching a washboard next to a microphone.) And last but not least I saw a dead fish washed up not a yard from where we were standing. Just baking in the sun. Hmmmm. The fish sealed the deal.
