A sign seen at a State Park in B.C., Canada warned about bears. They advised people to wear bear bells and bring "Pepper Spray". The sign ended with the following paragraph:
"Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity and learn to tell the difference between black bear __ces and grizzly bear fe__ Black bear fe__ is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear sh__ has bells in it and smells like pepper."

I was just joking about the 'State Park' because here in Canada they are called Provincial Parks (since we have provinces rather than states). If there was a 'State Park' in Canada, a lot of citizens would be concerned about a USA take over ;)
