Mont. woman fends off bear attack with zucchini
2010-09-24
They make 'em tough in Montana. From Ay Pee:
The black bear came up on her back porch to attack one of the dogs in the middle of the night... and that was its first mistake. Then it refused to back off when she tried to separate them, its second mistake. Then it bit her in the leg.

That did it. Montana women don't put up with that kind of nonsense from a mere 200 lb. bear. So she grabbed the nearest weapon -- a large zucchini from her garden -- and threw it as hard as she could at the bear. Realizing it was outmatched, the bear fled into the night.

#6  Apparently the bear's eaten zucchini before.

#5  And if the bear comes back in a few weeks' time, she'll have marrows.

Bulldog, zucchini is American for marrow. It's just that we prefer to eat them when they're young and tender, you Brits prefer to let them mature, growing considerably larger with a hard, winter-squash exterior.

In one night, she accomplishes more than UNIFIL has done in years.

#3  And if the bear comes back in a few weeks' time, she'll have marrows. It would be murder.

#2  Lucky for the bear the woman didn't have any tomatoes handy.
