[at-l] Bears and Gas

[nealb@midlandstech.com (William Neal)]

Well I guess it depends on the bear.  We use to shut Dad out of the house
when he cooked chitlins, but others would come flocking around to have some.
Dad was considered a gourmet chitlin cook.  Pray there are no "Ted" gourmet
bears.

My wife has often times told me that my carcass emits a rather fowl odor
during nocturnal hours....does this place me at a high risk for being eaten
by a bear.  My daytime odors are well controlled, in fact, I can emit them
on command.  I would appreciate your advice.
