a fellow hotrodder i know from out in californicate came to visit me this past summer and one time we were riding up in tenn and came across an amasing happening .. a big black bear was mauling a little yankee man from boston and the little man was holding his own pretty good when all of a sudden a pic up truck came flying up and billyray- joe bob bobbyjoe and several others jumped out of the bed of the truck and proceeded to beat the bear to death with a bunch of big sticks ..and then very tenderly attended to the little yankee fellow .. washing blood from him and stitching up his wounds .. my california friend was quite touched by the kindness shown to this boston stranger and i assured him all was not what it seemed .. we stopped and i said to billyray "" thats a nice bear you caught yerself .". he said yep ! ..my friend then thanked him for saving the life of the yankee and billyray said " yep " he`s a tough little feller and then proceeded to chain the yankee back to the tree and said " he`s the best bait we`ve ever had
