Only YOU can prevent forest fires

All forest fires are YOUR FAULT

Two friars are having trouble paying off the belfry, so they open a florist shop. Everyone wants to buy flowers from the men of God so business is quickly booming.

The florist across town sees a huge drop in sales and asks the two friars to close their shop, but they refuse. A month later the florist begs the friars to close because hes having trouble feeding his family. Again, they refuse, so the florist hires Hugh McTaggert.

Hugh is the roughest, toughest thug in town and is hired to persuade the friars to close. Hugh asks the friars to close their florist shop. When they refuse, he threatens to beat the crap out of them and wreck their shop every day they remain open, so they close.

This proves once again that Hugh and only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

You're missing a footnote where if you contribute enough funds, then it's no longer your fault. At least that's what I remember from visiting Smokey's grave.

When I was a kid, I always interpreted that is "I'm smokey THE bear and It's not my responsibility to prevent forest fires, I just tell YOU what to do."

Then I found out many years later that his name is Smokey Bear.

Current slogan says wildfires.

I thought he said wildfires now because its not just our forests that are burning.

Ah, ninjad. Darn colleague who interrupted me and made me do actual work.

In my defense, that's true of literally anything that has a Colin Mochrie version.

You pressed you, referring to me. That is incorrect. The correct answer is you.
