Hey sparky, You've reminded me of another bear chasing story....
Two guys are out hunting in the Alaskan woods. Haven't seen anything for days, when suddenly, they scare up a big ol' grizzly. He starts chasing the hunters. They are running as best they can for a couple hundred yards, when one of the hunters suddenly stops and takes off his boots - swaps them for some running shoes and starts up again. His buddy yells, "You can't out-run a bear in running shoes..." The response - "Nope, but I only gotta' out-run YOU!"
