Reminds me of the old joke about how to tell a black bear from a grizzly bear: When the bear chases you, climb a tree. If it climbs the tree after you, it's a black bear. If it knocks the tree down, it's a grizzly bear.

Reminds me of the old joke about how to tell a black bear from a grizzly bear: When the bear chases you, climb a tree. If it climbs the tree after you, it's a black bear. If it knocks the tree down, it's a grizzly bear.

A priest was walking the wilderness when he was spotted by a bear. The bear chased him until the desperate Man of God climbed a tree. Yet the bear was persistent and kept shaking the tree. The Cleric cried out. "God pray make the bear Catholic!"

The bear stopped shaking the tree. It got down on its knees, crossed itself and intoned. "Dear Lord, I give thanks for that which I am about to receive."
