Bert and Ethel were debating whether they should get a house pet, and if so, what kind. At long last Bert decided that a bear would be just the thing, but Ethel was skeptical.
"Honey", she said, "where will the bear eat?"
"No problem," said Bert. "We'll train him to eat at the table with us".
"But where will he go to the bathroom?"
"Don't worry, Ethel, we'll train it to use the toilet just like we do."
"Well, where will the bear sleep?"
"He can sleep with us" answered Bert.
"Sleep with US?" shrieked Ethel. "What about the smell?"
"Now, Ethel," soothed Bert, "he'll get used to it-- I did."
