D: "Pre-cognitive experiences are common to those of us gifted in the imaginary, especially when we have too much time on our hands, or, in other cases, if we consume large amounts of less-than-legal amphetamines.  In either case, sometimes we generate thoughts that liken themselves to experiences prior to the actual occurrences of such experiences.  And sometimes (most always, actually) even though we experience these experiences prior to them occurring, they never actually do occur.  We simply think they did, and thinking that they did occur always occurs after thinking that they will. So it could be that they are not all they are cracked up to be."

Now whilst I had the bear (FB) engaged in my monologue about the nefarious experiences held by those who engage in pre-cognitive experiences, I noticed his gaze increasingly distracted to my hand, in which I held my Garmin Vista GPS, a handheld Global Positioning System device.  This GPS is useful to outdoors-type persons, such as myself, that are gifted in the ways of the outdoors, have the aptitude and rectitude to become licensed outdoors guides, and can find their way around in the woods.  This of course FB did not know.  How could he, after all, since he himself was not a guide, nor did he know any guides, nor did he even have and pre-cognitive experiences.  Reasoning through this deductive logic, I arrived at the hypothesis that FB was interested in the hand-held device, and proceeded to direct his attention to it, and away from his hunger.

D: "FB, I notice you admiring my GPS, and would like to satiate your apparent curiosity.  What can I tell you about it?"

FB: "Why, I notice that you have not set it down or let go of it since you arrived.  I also noticed you carrying it in front of you as you approached.  I expect that what you possess there must be especially tasty, since you obviously guard it so closely, never letting it out of your sight.  Is it, in fact, tasty, nutritious, and in all ways as satisfying as I imagine?"

D: "To tell the truth, dear B, my pre-cognitive knowledge of the satisfaction of this device is too delicious for words.  We experienced, licensed NYS outdoors guides, in fact are taught to value the handheld GPS, which is what this is, above all else, as it's consumption can prove to prolong life, and nurture a lost being through any winter fast imaginable, even in the pre-cognitive sense."

B: "Do tell!"

D: "It is lore among us Licensed NYS Outdoors Guides that consumption of the GPS, if performed properly, will afford the consumer hunger satisfaction through an entire extended season, such as the long winters we ensure here in the North of America.  In fact, if properly consumed, it can pass through the consumer with no ill effects to either party, without regard to the digestive sensitivities of the consumer.  This then would lead to the ultimate in pre-hibernative, as well as pre-cognitive, experiences.  I wonder, aren't you tiring of holding on to BB, there, and isn't the Blubbering getting to you?  I wonder if you and I could strike a bargain to release the BB, and I might remain in your presence for the remainder of the discourse?"

B: "Well, if we could get on to the subject of this GPS-thingy, I would agree to swap this measly morsel for yourself, at least until we arrange some other agreement.  Sure.  I'll just let him go rig..."

At which time, the bear released his grasp on BB, and BB, trying all the while to get away, shot out of our presence like from a gun, and was gone.  After which we resumed our conversation here."
