Frank and Ernest by Thaves for August 22, 2024

So that’s why we have sink-holes.

Hungry, hungry gopher.

Smarter than the average bear!

it’s Frank Gent!!

Bearly believable!

He is ‘smarter than the av-er-age gopher!’ But look out for your pic-a-nic baskets!

Should you feed this bear? … Sure. Gopher it.

I don’t want his gopher holes in my yard

Woke up this a.m. to find a bear, once again, has broken a solid steel support and taken down my birdfeeders. One is really banged up but I think it’s salveagable.

GENT? IS THAT YOU? LOL

Hum… that guy would make a great Gopher Rug…!

smart work there gopher. :}

Go for broke!

Crafty devil.

Sorry, but I don’t feed gophers either.

Say, wanna gopher a ride?

He could put on a U of MN jersey and pass for the U mascot Goldy Gopher.

One of the Varmint Kong.

And if you believe that, I got that proverbial bridge I’d like to sell you at a bargain price.

Does anyone intentionally feed gophers?

most excellent

The young couple on their honeymoon were about to spend the week camping in Yellowstone, but first they had to listen to the ranger’s orientation speech. He was particularly emphatic about bears. “They’re a protected species, so we’ve got lots of them, but they’re still dangerous. Don’t approach them under any circumstances. And don’t try to outrun them; they’re faster than you are. And climbing a tree won’t help, either; they’re better at it than you.”

The nervous groom asked what they could do about it.

“Well, some people stop by the gift shop and pick up wristlets or anklets with little bells. Sometimes if they hear you coming, they’ll move off before you get there. You can also get cans of pepper spray in case you surprise one. Oh, and be on the lookout for fresh bear scat; that’s a sign that they’re around and you might want to leave.”

“What’s scat?” asked the bride.

“Bear droppings. You can tell what kind of bear it is by what their poop looks like. The smaller ones, black bears, have scat that’s kind of firm and roundish, like dark ping-pong balls. The really dangerous guys, the big grizzlies, have softer, flatter, lighter-colored droppings, kind of like cowpies, except they usually have little bells and smell like pepper.”

Made me laugh :-)

Love it! That was truly laugh-out-loud funny. Thanks for a good laugh.

Nice try!

“I am a very large gopher. Please ignore the large teeth and ginormous claws!”
