Times When Bear Puns Might Not Hit the Mark

• Professional presentations and formal business meetings require a serious tone. Dropping a bear pun during your quarterly sales report might leave your boss feeling quite grizzly.
• Memorial services and funerals demand respect and solemnity. These gatherings are moments for genuine sympathy, not lighthearted animal wordplay.
• Job interviews need to showcase your professional side. While creativity is valued, making bear jokes might hibernate your chances of landing that dream position.
