Caption contest! Here’s my entry:
“PULL!”
I guess my entry is the title to the post.
Right, no second bite at the apple, NMC.
Reminds me of the tag line from the trailer for the first Christopher Reeve “Superman” movie:
“You will believe that a bear can fly!”
Shoot, I just now got around to discovering that was a real bear. I thought it was an Ole Miss mascot.
I was really hoping that bear had learned to jump on a trampoline. The real story’s fine, but not nearly as good in my book. Great picture though.
Let’s feed “our” bear to that bear.
The tree wasn’t going to be paid unless she was bare?
This happened in Clarksdale once when I was a kid. Bear wandered off the Sunflower River bank and ended up in a tree just off 4th Street (MLK). Local vet shot it with tranquilizers but that didn’t do the trick. MS State sent somebody over to capture the bear. His first shot with the tranquilizer dart fell in a crowd of about 75 people – miraculously not hitting anybody. The second dart put the bear to sleep.
The fire department brought out the trampoline thing (I don’t know what it is called) for the bear to land. The bear wobbled for what seemed like five minutes and then went to sleep in the tree. A rope was tied around a police officer (I think it was Meyer Gilbert) and they hoisted him up the tree. He pushed the bear off the limb. We were told the bear was released in the Delta National Forest.
The bear was killed on US 36 outside Boulder yesterday.
