Hey Square- did I ever tell you this story that happened one time?

When I was in my mid twenties I went up north, waaayyy up north, to work in the diamond mines around Yellowknife and to freeze my @ss off. I handled the @ass-freezing like a trooper, but mine work required a degree of exertion that didn't please me.
I landed a job even further up north as a guide for tourists who wanted to see polar bears - which was funny since I knew nothing about polar bears, but was skilled at making facts up - "yes, ma'am, polar bears do lay their eggs out in the snow; they're green, not white, however, so they can be seen in the snow".
We had a base camp and would take tourists out on these huge contraptions - tractors with enclosed sheds on top of them. The polar bears would eventually show up, everyone would "ooh" and "aah" even though the bears weren't really doing anything, snap some pictures and then we'd go back and get in a little @ss-freezing. For those without my polar expertise, I should mention that polar bears are extremely dangerous, particularly males. They are at the top of the food chain up there, they know it and don't take crap off anyone. The locals, what few there are, say they routinely track hunters for days looking for an opportunity to close in. On one tourist excursion, a male polar bear ripped a cub to shreds in front of us just because he was having a bad day. I can tell you the tourists were doing a little bit more than "oohing" and "aahing" that day.
Anyway, we were at our base camp one day and I woke up very early, feeling the call of mother nature. We used to park the Cat (the tractor thingie) out in the open so we could see if any bears were around and the rule was you didn't leave the Cat without checking very carefully for neighbours and, preferably, didn't leave without taking someone with you to scan the horizon. Polar bears are that dangerous.
Not thinking, and not having seen a bear in the vicinity in weeks, I let my guard down and walked out without checking. I was about to start writing my name in the snow, when I heard a scuffling near a couple of old oil drums about 30 feet away. You're right. It was a polar bear. A very large male to be precise.
Strangely, my desire to take a leak disappeared and was replaced by a "Mary, Sweet Mother of Jesus, what's that bear doing here?" I stared at him for a minute, but it seemed like 60 seconds, and he stared back. I don't know how long he thought it seemed like. I was too far from the Cat to make a run for it (my legs weren't feeling too stable, anyway) and all the other morons were fast asleep and were of no use.
I remember thinking that I didn't want to go getting eaten by a bear while taking a leak, but basically I just stared in disbelief and a fair amount of horror. I say horror, because the bear started to sway back and forth and was grunting in a way I didn't find reassuring. I should mention that when a polar bear sways it means he's agitated, not happy with your presence and deciding whether you'd be tasty or not.
Well, I'm still here, so the bear obviously didn't attack. I'm sure to this day, though, that he was about to. Something must have distracted him, although I don't know what it was. He made a movement as if something startled him (yes, I almost p*ssed myself when he did this) and stopped swaying. He looked at me again, but I could tell he had lost interest. I hadn't. He sauntered off and I eventually made my way back to the Cat where I recounted the story to the waking morons where I added a few facts to make me look a little less frightened. I think I may have told them I scared the bear off or beat it off with a branch. I can't remember.
