Louisianans are the fourth most likely to use profanity yet also the fourth most likely to be courteous. So, please, just kiss my a** ... if it's not too much trouble.

Using an analysis of more than 600,000 customer-service phone calls over the last year, Marchex Institute has ranked the 50 states by those most likely to curse and those most likely to be polite. Louisiana joins Maryland as the only two states to land in the "most likely" category for being both profane and polite, coming in at fourth place on each list.

We are evidently very courteous sailors.
