COMSUBBBS Posts: 2974 Location: Liverpool, England | Subject: Bernie is Loose in America I'm sure you all remember Bernie, the stoker, who was subject to being accident prone. He suffered numerous physical injuries mainly from various primates, the odd kangaroo and a poisonous spider while on vacation in Australia. The last time I heard from him a swarm of hornets had attacked him leaving him with anaphylactic shock that he luckily survived. Despite his advancing years and past record of bad luck, I have just been informed by his son Steve, that Bernie has managed to surpass even himself, but this time on your side of the pond. He and his wife were on a driving holiday through Wyoming and taking in the sights of Yellowstone Park, a week ago. While in Mammoth Springs they saw a herd of moose grazing and resting on some grassy areas near the fort. Not satisfied with just taking photos, Bernie decided to approach a female lying on the grass and attempted to try and stroke her. At this point a 1,000 pound lump of jealous bull moose moved towards Bernie butting him in the chest leaving him unconscious. Bystanders were able to drag him away and after treatment from local staff he eventually came around winded and a little worse for wear with two broken ribs. His son, tells me Bernie. and his long suffering mother are currently resting up in the town of Gardiner, Montana, before resuming their trip back into the park to see Old Faithful. Knowing Bernie's track record I hope he has more luck with geysers than he does with animals. and that he doesn't get scalded getting too close to that famous landmark. I know it's serious and he seems to have more lives than a cat, but I'm sitting here biting my cheek to keep from laughing just thinking about it. Send him back home before he causes himself more grief. Pedro  Edited by Pedro 2017-07-18 4:08 PM | ||

Subject: RE: Bernie is Loose in America In Yellowstone there are a bunch of different geysers and bubbling mud pits along with many variety of 4 legged wild life. I imagine Ole Bernie will have plenty of stories to tell if & when he makes it home.  | |||
