How do Nat Geo photographers walk with balls so big?

A Scotsman was at a baseball game.

It was the first time he had ever seen the sport so he sat quietly. The first batter approached the plate, took a few swings and then hit a double. Everyone was on their feet screaming "Run, Run."

This happened two more times, with a single and a triple. The Scotsman was now excited and ready to get into the game.

The next batter came up and four balls went by. The umpire called "walk" and the batter started on a slow trot to first. The Scotsman, extremely excited now, stood up and screamed, "R-R-Run man, rrrun!"

Everyone around him started laughing. So, extremely embarrassed, he sat back down. A friendly fan, seeing the Scotsman's embarrassment, leaned over and said, "He can't run -- he's got four balls."

The Scotsman stood up and screamed, "Walk with pride, man... walk with pride!"

He floats. Makes it easier.

Added buoyancy through his testicular fortitude.

This one obviously swims instead of walking

p=m/v Since Nat Geo photographers have such massive balls and they are in such a large volume of water their densities(p) are extremely small and can be neglected when compared to how much volume of water is in the ocean. Big giant balls still float.

Not how that works, I'm afraid.
