The Biker Bear

Last week I reported on a bear that downed 36 Rainier Beers and climbed into a tree to pass out. The funniest aspect of that was not that he drank 36 beers, or passed out, but that he refused to drink the Busch beer that was also there.

Now, an ingenious bear in the Berlin zoo constructed a raft, swam a moat, scaled a wall and commandeered a bike before being tranquilized. So the question is: was he making a desperate beer run? What is up with the bear news lately? Can we safely assume that this is the fault of all those Molsen Canadian commercials where the bear drinks?



He might be able to ride the bike to the bar
but he'll need to take a cab home.
