I am fairly smitten with the bear and not because of his pleasant friendly demeanor (although it helps) Any man who likes to get warm by rolling in snow and then doing push ups has my attention. Let's consider the benefits a relationship with the bear would bring. Point 1: Cooking. You couldn't cook him a bad meal if you tried. What would he compare it to? Eating bugs, snakes, live fish, frogs, and decomposing animal carcasses. I'm going to assume it's safe to say if I make Mac & Cheese for tea he won't complain. And if I burn a roast, it'd still rate better than a 2 week old dead sheep in an Irish bog. Point 2: Sleeping in the dog house. Consider if you ran into trouble during a relationship with the bear. You could easily send him to the dog house and not worry... will he be ok? He would resourceful enough to turn the backyard into an urban au natural bungalo worthy of the Swiss Family Robinson. Point 3: Groceries. If you sent the bear out grocery shopping you could be sure he would bring back all the items you needed and more. If he's able to spot a unique form of woodland shrub which cures abdominal pain while he's white water rafting with a parachtute... then he can probably notice the items you forgot to add to the shopping list. Point 4: Home Security. No one would invade your house with a bear. An expert hunter not only could he trap the would be burgler, but probably make some handburgers out of him. Hamburgler? Point 5: Sharing Bedsheets and lack thereof. It's well known that often couples have issues sharing a bedsheet or quilt, they simply don't make them big enough. You could have a quilt that's 76 feet squared and it'd STILL be too small. But if you hogged the quilt for all the warmth bear would survive. He could build a bed igloo or find a dead camel to crawl inside for the night. Point 6: Think of the savings! Forget buying matches anytime you need to light a candle, a smoke or get the BBQ going. Just get your bear in there with some wood and tinder. No longer would you need to buy matches, lighters or the like. Savings! Point 7: Check the map. Ever had that holiday with your partner where you lose your way on the map and he refuses to ask for directions? It's a thing of the past with the bear. Can't find that restaurant your friends told you about? Don't worry, bear would go to high ground and then follow the nearest river until he found it. (rivers sold seperately, your results may differ) Point 8: Impress you friends. Bear's skills can also be of use in social situations. When it comes to one upsmanship your friends always seem to have you beat. Tristan's BF is an author, Michelle's husband is a Doctor and Julia is married to the King of Siam. Impress your friends, with bear. "Has your boyfriend travelled to the farthest reaches of the earth and survived off ants and coconut milk? Oh no, that's right your boyfriend gets sea sick." Get with the bear, and climb that social ladder! There's probably other benefits of a bear relationship, which may be covered later.
