While walking through an antique mall today, spotted this on a top shelf. It's a real phone for real money so it will be there for awhile even if it is a bear to pass up . . .

Beary cute, and one might be surprised... Some one with $25 extra in pocket, who loves that kind of thing will snatch it up.
I've seen uglier phones sell for more!

It could bee a honey of a deal, but bee-ing a Canadian I would get stung on the American price and that would be unbearable.  :)

If the price is fair, then buy the bear.  I don't care.  It may even be rare.  Do you dare?

On the back it might have a bear behind.  ;D

In Britain we are more accustomed to Teddy Bear phones like this one

People have puns about the bear pair that they want to share.  Any more puns would be a nightmare.  I should stay out of your hair, go out and get some air.

Called the owner of the antique store and they called the seller who said he did not know for sure if that was originally Hamm's bear but it was found at an estate sale up in the land of sky blue waters, up nort der ner da Mnisota. Even had a family photo from a vacation they took in 1956.

I remember the founder of the children's television workshop (sesame street) said in an interview that a six year old could recite a beer commercial from rote, but not the alphabet.  I guess we are both from that generation. ;D

As an adult, I order a beer more often than I recite the alphabet.

Why does school waste time teaching irrelevancies :-)
