That put a smile on my face, which is ironic because at the time I did not much more than run for my life….

The only thing that could make this weirder is if a bear pushed its face through the grenadier guard face-hole, and a grenadier guard pushed his face through the Paddington face-hole. I would pay good money to see that.
