Are you referring to Los Angeles or Louisiana ?




I can't imagine anyone in Louisiana calling them "floatation vests".

Gotta be Los Angeles.



What would you have them be called? In L.A. or in LA?

Since the boating laws in most if not nearly all states require each
person to have a wearable "Personal FlotationDevice," and all of them
are commonly worn as vests, where's the confusion in calling them vests?


The confusion was that he didn't also request two canoe oars...

(That, and the fact that there are probably well over 1000 stores in the LA
area where you can get PFDs and paddles.)
