Well, that Florida scene isn't completely accurate. The snakes aren't native
to Florida.
FYI: Snopes.com is a great place to check the accuracy of things you aren't
sure about.

Yet more proof that one of the most effective agencies in the entire
world is the Florida Bureau of Tourism and Commerce.
In addition being full of alligators that eat people, piles of
rattlesnakes, more lightning strikes than any other state, regular
hurricanes and tornadoes, blazing hot summers that can't be survived
without airconditioning, and not a hill or curved road in the
state...they have also convinced everyone that the two-inch long massive
insects with long feelers that look like cockroaches, walk like
cockroaches, and talk like cockroaches are actually called "water bugs"
or "palmetto bugs" and NOT cockroaches....despite ALL this, they have
the highest suburban growth (and tax) rates in the nation.
I wish whoever's in charge of all that was running Moto Guzzi. We might
be able to get parts when we need them.....
