Well, now we know that the lie is #1.
Yes, it is scary.
The first time was when I was only about 6 years old. I almost drowned in the ocean.
I honestly can't believe that I survived the second time. I was in my teens, and I was in my friend's swimming pool with him and his father. Well, his father decided to sneak up on me from behind, dunk me under the water, and hold me down under the water for a bit. What he didn't realize, seeing how he came up from behind me, was that my mouth was wide open at the time. My lungs filled up with water, and he took his hand off of my head and I surfaced just before I would have literally drowned.
Anyhow, as I just finished saying in another response, bears are lousy guessers.
I'll just mosey on back a bit deeper into the woods...
