Maybe the story went something like this:

"Thank goodness Bob was able to avoid getting between a mother bear and her cubs, while walking to the bathroom in the dark of the night, because he had fresh Winchester batteries in his trusty flashlight".

Bob was never seen again, but, the bite marks on his Flashlight suggested he fell victim to a large Omnivore.

"Being rabidly anti-gun, Bob's attempt to scare off the bear with flashing lights did not end well."

Bob doesn't often encounter bears... but when he does, he trusts Winchester batteries!  (Maybe he would have been better to trust Winchester rifles, LOL)

Steve wondered why the bear scat he saw in the woods contained Winchester batteries.

This 1904 ad always makes me cringe. (It's like she's intent on proving 'Papa' wrong). What kind of messages is that 'doll' telling her?

Too much 'Twilight Zone' and 'Night Gallery', Chuck!

I don't know if this child is possessed by demons or about to fart silently in a crowded cafeteria (or both).

Actually, I think it's a little of both!  That kid scares me a little...

I sure wouldn't trust him with an Iver Johnson, nor even, a pointed stick! (There we go, profiling again).

Maybe, there is a high Lead content in the soldered seams of that early bean can!

The Far Side cartoon with bear is one of my all time favorites.  There are so many things just not right with it.
