It's based on a true story.

Bears are weird. Cocaine bear actually happened, although it was a very small black bear and it died of an overdose before it could hurt anybody [0]. I've had bears in my yard fairly often. They used to come at night and tear up my porch trying to get to the bird feeders. We finally wised up and stopped feeding the birds. One time a bear tore up my windshield wipers because I made the mistake of leaving a candy bar in my truck overnight. Bears are weird, but you learn their weirdnesses when you live in the country.

  Many years ago at Lake Shasta, a couple a few spots down the campground from us had the canopy on their truck destroyed when a bear tried to get the cooler they had stored in there. Unfortunately for them, they were also sleeping back there. They weren't hurt, just badly shaken, and from listening to the woman, I have a feeling she never camped again.

  > According to the bear's owners, the Cocaine Bear has the authority to officiate legally binding weddings in the mall where it is kept due to Kentucky's marriage laws. This claim is only partly true; the bear does not have the authority to solemnize weddings, but the state of Kentucky cannot invalidate marriages performed by unqualified persons if the parties believe that the person marrying them has the authority to do so. As such, it is a belief in the Cocaine Bear's authority that allows it to officiate legally binding weddings in Kentucky. *Wiping away a tear* God bless America.

    Even when the party officiating is very clearly not a person?

    I'd like to see the divorce proceedings of a marriage solemnized by this bear. Almost certainly your prenuptial is not going to be binding because you cannot reasonably believe you were actually married by a bear. Any good lawyer is gonna rip this one apart.

      What do you the cardinality of the intersection of the sets of "couples who have prenups" and "couples who get married by a bear" is?

      That depends: if you hire Cocaine Lawyer Bear to defend you, the opposing party will likely be unable to find counsel to argue their case.

Cocaine bear was real, although less exciting than the adaptations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine_Bear_(bear) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine_Bear_(bear)
