In Alaska you have to take nursery rhymes seriously, especially when they concern bears.
You just have to remember that you can always replace your pic-a-nic basket, but you can't replace a torn off face so maybe just let that bear have a good time and get the hell out of there. Or if you're the insane type like Drew Hamilton below, you can risk life and limb just chilling by the river and watching a giant brown bear having a very close sit.
