WARNING: the following should be avoided by the humor-impaired 
Three polar bears, a mommy, a daddy, and a baby, are walking along the ice. 
Baby: "Mommy, am I a polar bear?" 
Mommy: "Yes, dear." 
Baby: "Mommy, are you and daddy polar bears?" 
Mommy: "Yes, dear." 
Baby: "Mommy, am I adopted?" 
Mommy: "No, dear, you're not adopted, and yes, you are a polar bear.  Why
all the questions?" 
Baby: "Because, mommy, I'm freezing my ass off!" 


Do you know how to catch a polar bear?
First you cut a hole in the ice.
Then you line the hole with peas.
When the polar bear comes up to take a pea, you kick him in the ice hole.
