My wife's dad, a vet and hero of WWII, now deceased, told this one.
---

A tenderfoot walks into an AK sporting goods and asks how he can avoid grizzlies while hiking in the woods. The store owner replies, "Buy these little bells and put them on your feet and so alert bears of your presence." The tenderfoot replied, "But how do I know bears are anywhere around?" "Well, you'll see their piles of droppings on the ground."Yeah, but how do I know the droppings are not from moose?"

The store keeper smiling answered, "If they have little bells in them they're bear!"

I love that one.

Thanks
