I was up on Isle Royale a couple weeks ago. Four of us watched a cow moose
and her calf feeding knee deep in the water. The cow got bored with us,
took a dump that would put a Holstien to shame, then took a whiz. I've seen
electric bilge pumps that don't put out that well.

Question, then: does a moose piss in the lake?

One of our guys commented, "That's reason number 23 to use a water filter."
