So....two bears meet in the woods in Minn-e-SO-ta, and one, plump & healthy notices that the other is skinny & bedraggled.

"Hey....you don't look so good." says fat bear.
"I know...I just keep losing weight.", says skinny bear.
"Maybe it's your diet...what have you been eating?"
"Why, Swedes, of course," he replies, "What else IS there to eat around here?"
"Hmmmm...maybe it's your technique...show me how you do it."

So they hide until a Swede walks by...and the skinny bear leaps out with a big roar and jumps on the Swede, and gobbles him up.

"Ah..no wonder!", says fat bear. "You can't hunt Swedes like that! When you leap & roar, it scare the shit out of them, and when you jump on them, it knocks all the air out of them, and then there's hardly anything left!"
