That's why I'm recommending you carry Coca-Cola whenever you're riding in Polar Bear country.

I hear they're overrunning all of Canada, but how far into the U.S. 48 have they made it? Bastages are like fire ants, I'm hearing!

There's plenty of Coca-Cola around here, and if you spill it, you'll get plenty of ants...

Wow talk about a response!

I guess I should go into my garage and try to find my stock pipe to replace the yoshi TRS race can, just to be responsible now!

But my loud pipe did help me out one time.

I am coming around a corner on a very narrow 2 lane road in the Kootenay's (in British Columbia, Canada) and I see this rather large bear right in the middle of the road, who is licking up some squirrel kill. By the time I get stopped, I am about oh, 100 feet away from this bear. He looks at me and stands up on his hind legs. Now I am thinking what do I do, if he runs at me, I am in trouble because there is no way I can turn around. Well I run the Bandit up to about 5 grand, and that bear ran off like you would not believe.

See, I think loud pipes can save lives!

But really, I think there is a possibility that the world hates America because it invented the Harley-Davidson & straight pipes. The result has sent terror & aggrivation to households all over the world late at night.

I got another 'bar' one.....taught in the Arctic for four years in the land of the midnight sun in a neat place called Holman Island. This place is kinda famous because it has the most northerly golf course in the world!

Occasionally, a muskox would make it into town or a polar bear would be spotted some night down by the Hudson's Bay Company Store (now called Northern Stores, I believe).

The next day, the principal of the school would report a polar bear sighting and ask the parents to not send their kids to school alone; come with a friend. Like TWO grade 3 kids are going to be able to scare the thing off!

Anyway, still have the warning sheet from the principal sent home to the parents. How many letters sent to parents in the history of education would have polar bear warnings in them??
