This Man Needs No Gun…
An Alberta man on a Bible retreat successfully used his Brazilian martial arts training on the weekend to fend off a charging grizzly.
…
“I put my arm up as the bear was coming on down towards me. The bear tried to bite my arm.”That’s when Simpson’s training instincts took over and he kicked the bear in the face.
“I think I stunned it just enough. I really think it saved me from a mauling.”
…
Simpson needed six stitches to close the wound from the bear’s bite and has a painful gash on his hip.
Yikes. I’m glad he’s OK.
You know, if I ever meet a Grizzly in the wild, I hope I’m packing some serious heat. And while I doubt if after the encounter I could answer the age-old question of whether the bear does his business in the woods, I guarantee that I will be able to make that claim about myself.

Reminds me of the Bill Cosby jokes about having clean underwear on; (paraphrasing)
Doctor: “Maam, your son has been in a car crash.”
Mom: “Oh My! Did he have clean underwear on?”
Dr: “Yes, we found it in the glovebox.”
…
Cosby: “Because whether you get in the crash or not – you are going to have an accident!”

Or Cosby’s pet rhinoceros bit:
“What’s that?”
“That’s my pet rhinoceros.”
“Does he bite?”
“No, but he’ll ram the hell out of ya.”

Gotta love Cosby.
