Don't you know that bears are the number one threat to America?!

Some of us saw bears in NJ when we lived there, and certain megamonkeys MOCKED US when we reported having seen said bear.

Was it me? Because if you didn't shoot and eat said bear, it sounds like something I would do.

I bet they're tasty.

that's right. she did see a bear.

except, substitute "bear" with "dog"

Bear in mind that dogs an bears could have evolved from an ancient bear-dog ancestor.

So it might have been an extinct (or not so exticnt!) bear-dog Miocenean ancestor.

I bet they're even tastier than bears, which is possibly why they're extinct.

NO NO NO NO NO.

The "dog" incident was a Great Dane that I thought was a small horse. Fine. I admit that one really destroyed my credibility. But only because it happened the same week I saw all those wild turkeys and the bear on the same street.

Stupid NJ bears. They're totally conspiring to make me look bad.

Wild Turkey will make you see things.
