who is proud to say that he never messed his britches throughout the
adventure.

Wolfgang, and others: the PA department of bears, or whatever it's
called, says there is no record of a black bear (only kind we have)
EVER attacking a human bean in PA.

So I'm afraid your courage, and your caution, ( not necessarily in
that order) were wasted on that bear.


Well, leaving aside the fact that neither (insofar as either entered into
the equation) was for the benefit of the bear........

Like most people I have, at one time or another, flirted with the fantasy of
being famous, but it was never an ardent desire of mine and at any rate I
long ago gave it up for more satisfying fare........um........which we need
not go into here.

Suffice to say that this particular legume has no desire to shatter, by
whatever means, a long standing and sterling record.

who, let it never be said, is not afraid of bears.
