1. No surprise there. Bears are lousy drivers.

4. Now, now. Let's not "stereotype". I have known plenty of bears who were good drivers.

I know it is anecdotal, but...

[Pacifist Patriot]

25. Ha ha! Good one.

[Solly Mack]

2. Is Boo-Boo OK too?

And what became of the picnic basket?

[Behind the Aegis]

5. False Flag.

I don't have any evidence, but I just know it was Ranger Smith who set this up! He has long been known as an anti-Ursanite!

[Solly Mack]

7. I knew it! I believe that too.

And thank you.

13. I thought that was a Schlitz

Which would make sense. He's in the woods.

[tavernier]

43. ...

16. Beer run gone bad?

How do bears buy beer without any pockets?

[pinboy3niner]

20. She keeps her money in hirsute, silly

[Rex]

21. Ha I cannot type I am glad you knew what I meant.

I hear beer prices are grizzly in that neck of the woods.

[underpants]

23. They just Gobi it

Sometimes they have to pandahandle

[Rex]

33. If a bear cracks open a cold one in the forest and nobody is around

does it make a sound?

[pinboy3niner]

34. Well, the bear is around

So, yes.

[awoke_in_2003]

38. If a bear really wants the beer...

are you going to try to make him pay for it?

[Rex]

42. Well, I will at least make sure it is not a man in a bear suit!

But yeah good point, I guess I won't ask for ID.

26. Bear pickup line

Hey baby, what's ursine?

[sarae]

27. haha!

Are you trying to ruin this poor bear's future?

[smirkymonkey]

39. *snort*

I heard this was his fifth DUI. Take his keys away!

[pinboy3niner]

40. In fairness, he waited as long as he could but his Uber never showed

[Orrex]

9. Bear left

immediately after release.

[Rex]

19. They should have held him for questioning.

Cops found 10 pounds of stolen honey! Local bee community relieved.

[pinboy3niner]

29. That was the problem--he couldn't read the forking road sign. nt

[Orrex]

30. Nice

That resonates well with the Kermit/Fozzie reference upthread.

[tonyt53]

11. That was "Smoking Bear", and it is legal for recreational use in CO.

[Renew Deal]

15. Was he ticketed?

[central scrutinizer]

28. Yes

But for shitting in the woods

[Nuclear Unicorn]

17. I'd love to be a fly on the wall while the owner of the car explained it to their insurance company.

[underpants]

18. Colorado? Probably high.

[Rex]

22. Busted!

[underpants]

24. Do you know what to do if a bear gets in your car?

Play Dead

[denbot]

[n2doc]

31. A Florida Driver's License is on the way to the Bear... n/t

[Sophiegirl]

32. Oh how much I needed this

A silly thread to lift my spirits.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

35. Good thing it wasn't a Tesla. Bear would half way to Pismo beach by now.

[SticksnStones]
