One day…. in the very big woods… a burly old black bear and a little gray squirrel were sitting next to one another … at the common animal latrine.

Oh yes.  They have those latrines out in the woods.  They do.

So… this old bear and the squirrel were sitting there… getting ready to do their business.

“Hey, little buddy” says the bear to the squirrel, “Do you find that poop tends to stick to your fur when you go?”

“Well, what do know friend.    As a matter of fact…. yes…….. it does,” replied the squirrel.

“That’s good news!” says the bear.  And … the bear reaches over, picks him up off the ground…. and and wipes his rear end with the little squirrel.

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one” – C. S. Lewis
