The greatest rhetorical question of all time, in our estimation:
Does a bear s--- in the woods?
You know why it's rhetorical, right? We are not really expecting an answer. We already know.
Yes. Of course a bear poops in the great outdoors.
But now that great question has a challenger:
Does a bear get bombed in the woods?
And we know the answer to that one, too, don't we?
Everyone has heard of the black bear in Washington that downed several cans of Rainier Beer and then passed out on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort.
And we've heard a great hoo-hah about the whole thing. "Hey, d'ja hear about the black bear that blacked out at Baker Lake? Hoo-hah!"
Wildlife agents even used beer as bait to lure the hungover beast into a cage to move it.
Which brings us to rhetorical question No. 3. We know a bear takes a dump in the woods. And we know it takes a drink in the woods.
But does a bear take a whiz in the woods?
The answer to that is in rhetorical question No. 4:
Is the pope Catholic?
