"That's right, son!" said the Mama bear. "Did you finish your requirements document?"

"Yes, but I'm worried that the pagination might be wrong."

"Ho, ho, little bear, let me show you a nice little trick I learned in my Forestry class!" Papa bear exclaimed as he revved up the chainsaw and gas fumes filled the air.

Suddenly, Professor E. Ferguson* burst forth from his hiding place within the roaring fireplace. Dusting off his asbestos-laden fire retardant suit, he said, "Stop! The dichotomy of my favorite bugaboo is causing my antithesis to amalgamate diagramatically!!"

Fearing for the lives of his family, Papa bear charged at E. Ferguson screaming, "Don't you bring such vulgarities into my cabin!!!" With a flash of ripping flesh and splattering blood, Papa's chainsaw removed the small patch of hair Ferguson combs back to hide his baldness, exposing the limited-in-size brain beneath.

Meanwhile, baby bear was furiously scribbling notes onto the durable bond paper in his looseleaf notebook. "Wow!" he thought. "This is just what I needed for my requirements specification -- it's more formal and precise!" Chuckling happily to himself, he hardly noticed how Papa bear and E. Ferguson's ways of expressing themselves had moved from more formal to less formal formats. Having cut down the verbiage, they had also removed most of their clothing. Ferguson began prancing around in frilly pink panties, taunting Papa bear by suggesting, "Hey, big boy! Why don't you stop that esoteric rambling and make the (easier) transition to some serious considerata?" Papa bear, however, was not very pleased. He didn't like all this incessant chatter and useless words. So he grabbed his axiom and ran full force into E. Ferguson.Ferguson, sensing the end of his "meaningful" existance, defended the blow with a brief but droning lecture.

"System specification requirements, ok... so... any questions here? Ah.. structured system and software axioms are often Byzantine... ah.. ok.. so.. systems lead to software design. I want to talk about the airport that did not completely outline their specifications..."

Papa bear tried to fight off the urge to sleep, but eventually his eyelids fell shut, and Ferguson's maniacal laughter could be heard throughout the forest....
