Person: I heard David bought a boat now he has a new job
Badger Expert: I’ll tell you about owning a boat; my mate has two up on the East coast and he says the most interesting thing is (continues at length)
Person: There was a dead badger on the road outside my house this morning
Badger Expert: Badgers, is it now? I read a long blog by the fellow in charge of gassing badgers for the Environment Agency and the thing most people don’t realise is (continues, possibly with diagrams)

Get the Badgermug. A Honey Badger is not one of the legendary creatures of the forest. Not like bears.
