Bears and Cactus

Considering there was a bear on our property Russell had me going that "there was a black creature, with sharp claws and a tail bigger than Indie's (our dog)."
Me:  "Well were is it?"
Russ: "It's out in the desert."
Me: "We don't have a desert."
Russ: "Yes, we do."
Me: "Russell, do you even know what a desert is?"
Russ: "Yes, it has cactus."
Me: "We, don't have a desert."
Russ: "Yes, we have cactus."

Oh no sense in arguing with him!!  Needless to say I didn't run over to the window to scout for a "black creature."

From now on we will refer to Russell as Russell Tall Tales.
