Yes, this story is very true, the guy did not last long (less than a week )as the company said he had a over aggressive attatude.

In all fairness my story is perhaps a little decieving as when the bear jumped in the van and the salesman started screaming I wasn't paying that much attention to anything other than the nail gun repair. So as far as me being briliant to pull this off is not all that correct. I was pretty quick to catch on. The bear was kind of cute at first, but every time I bent down and exposed my plumbers butt, he would bite me just above the belt, not hard enough to break the skin, but it would hurt.

It is so cold out and up at the coffee shop no one listens to me so I will tell of another ordeal.

I was the oldest boy in the family so tractor driving got a early start in my childhood, and to drive our neighbors WD 45 disking was pretty special, and my brothers would have to do my chores if I worked it just right. I was making the outside round and a pheasant was trying to get through the netting in a small brush patch. The netting was old and smashed down so he could not get through. I caught him and was going to let him go, but my brothers and sisters would never believe me. After a hour or so the phesant kept scratching my stomach as I had him tucked in my coveralls. And being ten years old I just knew the game warden would be watching me, catch me and take me to jail. I decided to wrap his head against the disk blade and after dark I could get him to show my brothers and sisters. As I looked out over the hay field next to the strip I was disking I seen a few flags marking goffer traps. So I did what I had to. I pulled the trap up and inserted the phesants head and sprung the trap / shoved it back down the hole. About 4 pm a farmer that I never met before came out to check his traps, and after finding the phesant came up across the disked ground to coment how nice it was working up. After a few munites I asked if it wasn't illegal to shoot phesants this time of the year. He exclaimed---IT JUST CAN"T BE !, then repeated it a couple more times, then he seen me grinning a little to much and declared that I must know somethig about the ordeal. We have been best of friends ever since, and he has gotten even many times over. NE IA Dave
