This is too easy

You know what’s great? Those wacky news stories. Man humps donkey. Donkey humps man. A tiger escapes from the zoo and eats your newborn. But, this might be the best one EVER.

The last thing Lorraine Grossman expected to see as she gazed out the kitchen window of her daughter’s home was a 211-pound bear.

“I was making a pot of coffee, and I turned around and there he was in the window looking at me,” said Grossman. “For a minute I didn’t realize there was a glass between him and me.”

The scream Grossman let out was loud enough to startle the wandering bear, who turned tail and scurried some 40 feet up a tree.

More than 50 neighbors gathered to watch and the beast soon grew tired. As the bear gave a lazy yawn, the crowd cooed loudly in appreciation.

“He’s really kind of cute,” Joanne Penaluna said.

The bear remained wedged in a web of branches until it was shot with a tranquilizer dart Sunday. The bear hung on for 10 minutes before dropping neatly into a taut net set up below.

The bear, a male estimated to be 2 or 3 years old, was released at a state wildlife-management area.

“It’s not something you get to see every day,” said Pete Samek, who hoisted his 5-year-old daughter, Lucy Rose, on his shoulders. “Bears falling out of trees.”

Yes, a lady with the last name Grossman got startled by a bear. She then scared it away with her shriek and the bear got caught in a tree. This is sort of like Rex Grossman’s relationship with his receivers. He’s scared, they’re scared, they run into the defense, get trapped in coverage and….interception!

HIIIII-OOOO!
