Just remember the old joke about the two guys running from an enraged bear. "I don't have to run faster than the bear, just faster than you". :eek: :D:

BTW that's the generic you, not anyone in particular. ;)

That's like a running backpacker's joke in Yellowstone: "You don't need to be able to outrun a bear, you just need to be able to outrun the slowest guy in your group!" :p:

You know, back in the old days, they used to say that if you ran into a bear in the woods, you should climb a tree. Now, they know that's not a great idea. You see, a black bear will just climb up the tree after you to eat you. A griz will just knock the tree down and eat you! :eek:

I heard that from my cousin who has been a ranger naturalist for several decades. He said this is how to tell a black bear from a grizzly. You run up and slap him across the muzzle, and then climb a tree. If it comes up after you, its a Black Bear. And if it shakes you down it's a Grizzly. Simple, right? :D:

The bear story kinda works in Hawaii but with a fishy bent. If you're out surfing and get bit by a shark, you'll be able to tell what kind it is based on what happens next. If it leaves, it's a tiger 'cause they don't like the taste of humans. If it comes back for more, it's a hammerhead.

hell, not even any of that would be likely. i don't know if Disney has freezers cold enough, but even if they did i doubt you'd find a willing heart donor, or someone capable of doing a transplant in a few short minutes. even if that happened, he might have lost too many brain cells that he'd be as intelligent as the average 5 year old.

They keep Walt in the coldest freezer, there is no room for a guy who needs an instantaneous heart transplant! :twisted: ;)

Funny!! DW was not amused when we were hiking in Alaska, I got her a "bear bell" for her hiking boots, she asked me what it was for, and I told her it helped the bear figure out where lunch was!! (hehehehe)

What happened to the "fish are our friends, not food?" that dosn't apply to humans I guess!!
