Walk Loudly And Carry A Sharp Stick
(A couple comes up to me looking for something to help against attacking cougars. I recommend bear spray, a high-power pepper spray to repel predators.)
Customer: “Nah, we don’t need bear spray. Sometimes that stuff just pisses them off, y’know?”
Me: “Well, in some rare cases–”
Customer: “Hey what are those?” *points at 18″ machetes*
Me: “Those are machetes.”
Customer: “That’s perfect! That’s just what we need. If there’s a cougar we don’t need no Bear Spray! We’ll just fight ’em off with this!”
Me: “Okay… you sure you wouldn’t like some bear spray, too? Just as a first option?”
Customer: “Nah, sometimes that just pisses them off!”
