Bear Remover

A man woke up one morning to find a bear on his roof. So he looked in the yellow pages and sure enough, there was an ad for "Bear Removers."

He called the number, and a man said he'd be over within 30 minutes.

The 'Bear Remover' arrived, got out of his van and started removing equipment First a ladder, a baseball bat, and the meanest looking old pit-bull the homeowner had ever seen. Finally, he came over to the homeowner, handed him the shotgun and said "I'm going to put this ladder up against the roof, and then I'm going to go up there and knock the bear off the roof with this baseball bat. When the bear falls off, the pit bull is trained to grab his testicles and not let go. The bear will then be subdued enough for me to put him in the cage in the back of the van."

"OK. But what's the shotgun for?" asked the homeowner.

"If the bear knocks me off the roof, shoot the dog".
