I'm sure you have.
All you need is a cage abot 8' x 4' and a cannula inserted into it gall
bladder. The chinks do it all the time,

You'd want to be fast, with a polar bear in the house.

They're a bit larger than that.
Male polar bears (boars) grow two to three times the size of
female polar bears (sows). Boars weigh about 350 to more than
650 kg (772-1,433 lb.) and are about 2.5 to 3 m (8.2-9.8 ft.)
long (Stirling, 1988).

I think we've over-complicated Christmas traditions enough as it is.

That depends how hungry it is, assuming it's alive.

Well, if you're adopting it, I assume it's alive. Who would adopt a dead
polar bear?

I suppose we could kick it in the ice hole and see what happens.

Take your remarks to the media. I am willing to sponsor you if you can eat a
fully grown polar bear at one sitting.

£10K says you can't.

Either shut up, take the challenge or do one.
