BEAR CAUGHT WITH WAFFLE BAIT

A black bear that prompted a lock-down at a Florida school Monday was relocated using waffles and syrup. The bear was spotted near Grace Community School in Fort Myers. It was cornered by police and wildlife officers at a nearby apartment complex. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers used waffles and syrup to lure the bruin into a cage. The yearling bear, which weighed about 170 pounds, was released deep in the Collier County woods.
* For waffles, I would have willingly walked into that cage, too.
* This is how they got Kevin James off CBS property when they canceled “Kevin Can Wait”.
* Bear in mind, these are the same people who tell us to never, ever feed the bears people food.
* Waffle House is going, “Couldn’t you have used a taco or something?”
* Does a bear crepe in the woods?
* Now Police Chief Jim Hopper has started leaving Eggo waffles in a little box in the woods for the bear. (Like he did for Eleven at the end of season one of “Stranger Things”. But you knew that.)
