Beared

I was walking in the woods when I came across a grizzly bear. My heart spiked with adrenalin. I couldn’t move or think.

I figured, what the hell, and asked the bear, “Excuse me, I don’t know the proper response. Am I supposed to run from you, or do I fall on the ground and roll up into a ball?”

The bear said, “I understand that you are afraid, but your response has hurt my feelings.”

I said, “I’m so sorry.”

I opened my arms and hugged the bear. The bear hugged me back. After about ten seconds, it got awkward.
