Beware of the bear

[rescuer]

With the managing director in Germany and we had an aftrernoon off from business so went for a walk in one of the many forests. We came to a clearing and found ourselves confronted by a viscious looking wild boar.
My managing director dived into his rucksack and pulled out a pair of running shoes.
"They won't help, " I said. "You'll never outrun a wild boar."
"I don't have to out run the boar," he replied. "I just have to run faster than you."

so where does the bear come in?

[rescuer]

Very good, Postdog. As Captain Mainwairing would say: "I wonder how soon someone would spot that."

Very good Brionon! Between us we could start a script writing partnership -- about the Home Guard. But I suppose with all my ideas I usually find that someone has beaten me to it!

Erm I dont think that joke was your idea, I heard Billy C tell that one many years ago, except he was on safari in Africa and the Bear/Boar was a lion. Sorry mate

There's nothing new under the sun, eastern. We are told that the Greeks had a word for it.
