So a Bear Walks Into a Fur Store ... August 17, 2009

It sounds like the beginning of a faux cheesy joke, but it was no laughing matter for the cruel shoppers perusing the racks at Mark Richards Fine Outerwear in Aspen, CO.

You see, Mark Richards is a store that sells the skins of animals, in the form of fur coats. In an understandable mistake, a local bear apparently walked into the shop on a busy Saturday night—maybe trying to find out why all of his friends keep disappearing?

Evidently the bear has more fashion sense than some other residents of Aspen, as he walked out without buying anything. CNN has the full story, and a video of the encounter:

What do you think the bear thought as he walked in the fur store?

I'm going to guess it was something to the effect of "Billy, is that you?"
