Her story about the bear she encountered that was 5' away is even better 
when she accompanies it with her slide show.  She shows a couple of 
pictures of the bear outside from the day before, then a picture of the 
door of the shelter where she was eating dinner.  You can clearly see the 
outline of the bear through the faded plastic on the door that covers the 
opening where the glass was broken out.  The next slide shows the same door 
with a gigantic bear head filling up the opening.  After everyone in the 
audiences gasps she says,  "that didn't really happen...I doctored that 
picture with my computer".
