Funny Stories: BEAR WARNING

The Forest Service has issued a BEAR WARNING in the national forests for this summer. They’re urging everyone to protect themselves by wearing bells and carrying pepper spray.

Campers should be alert for signs of fresh bear activity, and they should be able to tell the difference between Black Bear dung and Grizzly Bear dung.

Black Bear dung is rather small and round. Sometimes you can see fruit seeds and/or squirrel fur in it.  Grizzly Bear dung has bells in it, and smells like pepper spray!

“That means”, he said, “that this machine will read the digital information that is encoded on CDs and convert it into an audio signal - that is, into music.”

“In other words this CD player plays CDs.”
