True...but I’m about 3 miles from the US largest naturist (nudist) resort. Nothing wrong with naturism...

the bear was just looking for that nice lady to talk about her cough

Unless it was the bear looking for Charmin!

There was a bear that probably swam the St. Johns river to Jacksonville Beach a few years ago:

Why is it that the people who want to lie naked on the beach are NEVER they type of people you might actually want to see lie naked on the beach?...........

Because Naturism is not sexual. The largest resort 3 miles from me has a SCHOOL BUS STOP. Naturists are normal Americans, why wear clothes to swim in or to wash your car? Frying bacon, yes, washing your car...no...

I’m guessing old boy isn’t from here. Because you can’t drive more than 5 miles out 98 West or East without seeing a bear crossing sign until you get to Ft. Walton area..

Just a cub.

Plenty of black bears in Florida. One day, I passed a bear and an alligator—both roadkill—less than 100 feet apart on Hwy 70. I suspect they got into a tussle and neither saw the big truck that hit ‘em.

I live in bear country in a ski resort area lousy with bears. Somebody we know had a bear in their house recently, it was lured in by the smell of popcorn apparently, and once in the house it couldn’t figure out how to exit, so it made several attempts at doors and windows, causing all sorts of mayhem like that awful guy in the TV commercial.

We see bears on the street and even crossing the highway with cubs in tow. They are not shy about breaking into vehicles, one recently took four full cases of sodas leaving only one kind, forget which but not good advertising for that one I suppose (even bears won’t drink ___ ____ ).

#20 Gentle Ben tv show.
The bear named Ben ate the kid seen in the photo (Clint Howard). He wasn’t so Gentle after all.

The parents were notified and agreed to adopt a kid that looked like him as they had a successful tv series going on and the studio wanted to keep things quiet.

The brother Ron Howard never noticed he had a step brother as he was away doing the Andy Griffith show and when he came home he just thought Clint had a growth spurt.

Beside Ron never really like Clint.....
