This joke gave me quite a giggle when I first read. The man’s response is so obvious, so true, and so funny — though not particularly chivalrous. I hope you will enjoy it too.

Bear with us

Two campers are walking through the woods when a huge brown bear suddenly appears in the clearing about 50 feet in front of them. The bear sees the campers and begins to head toward them.

The first guys drops his backpack, digs out a pair of sneakers, and frantically begins to put them on.

The second guys says, “What are you doing? Sneakers won’t help you outrun that bear.”

“I don’t need to outrun the bear,” the first guy says. “I just need to outrun you.”

I came across reference to this Unison advert in an article I was reading, and managed to track down the actual advert on YouTube. It’s an incredibly cute advert — but conveys a real message (whether you agree or disagree with trade unions). And I thought the “unity” theme would be appropriate for this week, even if not actually Christian Unity.
