Happy Friday
----------
> In the middle of a forest, there was a hunter who was suddenly confronted
> by a huge, mean bear. In his fear, all attempts to shoot the bear were
> unsuccessful. Finally, he turned and ran as fast as he could.
>
> The hunter ran and ran and ran, until he ended up at the edge of a very
> steep cliff. His hopes were dim.
>
> Seeing no way out of his predicament, and with the bear closing in rather
> quickly, the hunter got down on his knees, opened his arms, and
> exclaimed,
> "Dear God! Please give this bear some *religion*!"
>
> The skies darkened and there was lightning in the air. Just a few feet
> short of the hunter, the bear came to abrupt stop, and glanced around,
> somewhat confused.
>
> Suddenly, the bear looked up into the sky and said, "Thank you, God, for
> the food I'm about to receive...."
