The four posts below this are classic "Boy and the Bear" stories. I call them classic although they are really only classic around my own household, where everyone knows certain things about them. First, they usually involve a hamburger in a restaurant with a "no shirt no shoes no service" rule. They often involve parking tickets for a bear who basically doesn't feel like he's parking. And finally, whenever a listener (or reader in this case) comes to think they have a handle on the plot line, it features a sudden, unexpaected departure of any kind. Sometimes this involves the set being blown up. But in any case the surprise is built right into it.
Here are some examples:
The Boy & the Bear, the Pizza & the Parade
The Boy & the Bear and the Trump Rally
Boy and the Bear, and Amtrak
Yer Classic Boy & Bear Story
enjoy!
