IJMC - A Teddy Bear Joke

You know, here is somewhere where I can be somewhat lazy. You see, I am 
looking for a teddy bear and I have been unable to find what I want. I am 
looking for a smallish (but not tiny) teddy bear about 6-10 inches 
(15-25cm) in height, wearing some kind of "outdoorish" outfit. 
Preferably, a bear wearing khaki shorts (khaki pants will do) and a 
bomber type leather jacket...that is what I seek. Anyone know where I can 
find one?                                                           -dave




This is a teddy bear joke. 

Once upon a time, in a town populated by teddy bears, there lived a Baby
teddy bear and his Mother. 

One day, the Mother teddy bear asked her son to go down to the corner
store to buy her a pink bar of soap.  The Baby teddy bear jumped at the
opportunity, since it was a big responsibility and he was always helpful
around the house. 

So the Baby teddy bear hopped on his bicycle, and rode down to the corner
store, all the time saying to himself "Pink bar of soap, pink bar of soap"
so he wouldn't forget. 

Finally he reached the corner store, parked his bike in the rack provided
and walked inside.  He said to the teddy bear standing behind the counter,
"I would like to buy a pink bar of soap for my mother." 

"Just one moment son, and I'll check to see if we have any in stock," the
Shopkeeping teddy bear said, and went to the store room to check. 

A few moments go by and the Shopkeeping teddy bear returned, carrying a
bar of soap.  "I'm sorry, son, but it seems that we ran out of pink bars
of soap.  But I do have purple." 

"That's okay, sir," replied the Baby teddy bear.  "I'm riding my bike."

On hearing this joke one day, when no one else was laughing someone
(unfortunately, to perpetuate a stereotype, a young, blonde, female
someone) says "Oh, I get it." to which the reply came - "You're not
supposed to, it's a TEDDY BEAR joke."
