A Bad Dude Is Chasing Me<\/b><\/p>\n
An old fellow had been in the north woods for weeks by himself, camping out. Each night at dusk he built a campfire, boiled water for coffee, and took out his skillet to fry up some bacon for dinner. As he was sitting by the fire one night, the water boiling and the bacon sizzling, he heard a tremendous racket in the brush. The sound was like a roaring freight train, and as trees fell over and branches snapped, the biggest bear he\u2019d ever seen lumbered into the clearing. On the bear\u2019s back was a tough-looking hombre holding a seven-foot live rattlesnake in his hands.<\/p>\n
The man shouted and screamed as he brought the bear to a skidding halt, bit the head off the rattlesnake, and flung it into the brush. Then he slid off the bear\u2019s back, turned, and hit him between the eyes, knocking him unconscious. The camper was speechless as this wild-eyed renegade walked over to the fire, tossed the boiling coffee down his throat, drank the hot grease from the skillet, and ate all of the bacon in one bite. As he wiped his hands with poison ivy and slapped the bear back to consciousness, he turned to the camper and said, \u201cPartner, I\u2019m sorry I can\u2019t stay around and visit with you a while, but I\u2019ve got to keep moving \u2018cause a real bad dude is chasing me!\u201d<\/p>\n
