Hiss boom bear.

VAIL, Colo. - A 72-year-old woman making pot roast in her kitchen discovered uninvited guests in her home Thursday: a bear and her cub.

The unidentified woman walked into the kitchen and found the bear standing six feet away, apparently surprising it, Vail police Sgt. Dan Torgerson said. The bear hissed at her and swatted her chest and arm, giving her some minor scratches. The woman then scared it off by yelling and clapping her hands.

Torgerson said the bear hissed again and then left through a side door.

"If the bear was trying to hurt her, it very easily could have,"he said."I think it was just surprised."

The woman then found a cub in her house and she pushed it out the door, Torgerson said.


An intrepid Nutter cracked a source who admitted the woman's name was Goldilocks. "Revenge, innit," said the source. "Bears never forget." Apparently the Mom Bear was the same Baby Bear in the famous story and is still pissed off that Goldi slept in her bed.

There's a moral in there. Or perhaps a mural.

Well, yeah! Bear had just put down a 20% downpayment on that house. Real Estate Scam, innit. Miz Bear's attorney refused to comment.

A couple of years ago, the lady in charge of such things extended the bear hunting season in New Mexico. One day, while she was at work, a black bear broke into her home. That same weekend, while she was at home, a bear broke into her office.

True story. Proof that bears read the paper.

Also proof that bears have a wicked sense of humo(u)r.
