Kid and I have been trying to figure out where the emphasis belongs and cracking up at the implied pragmatics
Some days the bear eats YOU
Some days the bear EATS you
Some days the BEAR eats you
Some days THE bear eats you <--- ????
Some DAYS the bear eats you < -- ??
SOME days the bear eats you
Can anybody suggest a pragmatic frame that makes number 4 or 5 work?

@trochee I don't know if the kid has seen the Big Leboo, but there's a scene where this quote is used.
It's funny because he pronounces it all Daniel Boone style, "b'ar", but they are actually sitting at a bar in a bowling alley so maybe it's a double entendre.
