Bear Alert

Jonah Goldberg
The Corner

Every single time I go to Alaska, someone sends me or tells me some version of this joke, from a reader:

<<< Bear Alert

The Alaska State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, and golfers to take extra precautions and be on the alert for bears while in the area.

They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert but not startle the bears unexpectedly.

They also advise you to carry pepper spray in case of an encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch for signs of bear activity.

People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear droppings.

Black bear droppings are smaller and contain berries and possibly squirrel fur.

Grizzly bear droppings are large, have bells in them and smell like pepper spray. >>>

Laz, Perhaps he eats Gummi Bears, bear claws, Br'er Bear molasses, and others of those "elk," but probably not bear mammals. BTW, why don't you ask him instead of asking me? <g> - Holly
