@earl-of-trumpssaid I get a chuckle at how bears do it. (Black bears, I think)
The mom chases the cub up a tree and tells it not to come down. Well, they figure that is what the mom conveys to the cub because the cub never gets down until it is desperate.
That's called growing up fast. Go fend for yourself kid, and watch out for adult males, they kill cubs for walking onto their territory.
They are so cute, these little bears. They connect their mother's roaring with danger and know to immediately climb up a tree, only this time she has no intention of calling them back down again. So they wait, and wait and wait... until hunger forces them down. Luckily they are usually more than one perhaps?
@instantkarma777said I really fear for the next generation. They can't cook. They are poorly educated and can't read a book never mind a map.
I've been looking after myself since I was 12. My parents taught me to be self sufficient.
The wailing about the younger generation dates back into antiquity. If even we managed to survive somehow ist shows they must have been demi-Gods at least...
It is always a mixed bag. Some will grow up and be responsible, some won't.
I used to be flattered when a new guy was accused as being me but not anymore.
I take offense sir!
Pistols at noon...
Maybe 3pm...If I wake up.
6pm at the latest 🤔
A story goes that the 19th-century German leader Bismarck was offended beyond endurance by Rudolf Virchow, a physician and politician, and challenged him to a duel. Virchow, who had the choice of weapons, selected two sausages, one of which had been inoculated with deadly cholera germs, and offered Bismarck his choice. The two would then eat the sausages. Bismarck didn't think it was funny. He called off the duel.

Are you sure it wasn't a pastry?
In the US, a Bismarck is a doughnut with no hole, filled with creme or custard and topped, usually with chocolate frosting or ganache.
