Ok, who is going to mention the polish bear eating the pope in the woods, and whether or not it makes a noise if a tree fell on it? It's like this: I used to alternate saying "is a bear Catholic" and "does a Pope shit in the woods" just to annoy DW. Then the Pope came to Ontario, and spent a weekend in a cottage where the only bathroom facilities were in an outhouse at a significant distance from the cottage - and I discovered that the Pope really _does_ shit in the woods... -- derek |
