It's easy to get away from Alaskan bears. Just carry a string of little bells to scare them away, and use pepper spray on them if they get too close.

Oh. And if you wonder if you're in bear country or not, just look for the bear s*it. It'll have little bells in it, and smell like pepper.

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs. -- Oxford University Press, Edpress News
