A humerous combo of 'Do bears shit in the woods?' and 'Is the Pope Catholic?' Which are two jokey ways of saying 'Yeah, obviously, duh'.

My wife used to work in the backcountry. Lots of unpaved remote roads. Bears apparently do not shit in the woods. They shit on the road.

Do they, or did someone put a road through a bear's outhouse?

Ironically, from a truck driver I learned bears seem to shit an awful lot in the roadway.

But does the pope shit in the woods?

[โ€“] tetris11@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 days ago

No, but bears are catholic
