Yeti's Attack!! They Are Spreading Across The Country WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF A YETI WANTS YOU FOR LUNCH? Some people just have no decency. A Yeti is a statuesque individual. Yet someone has decided to use the word Yeti as a name brand for coolers, insulated cups and other such merchandise. They are besmirching the name of the real yetis that roam the countryside and cause havoc. We checked Amazon. They have Yeti Roadie 24 insulated coolers for $200. You can get a similar no name cooler from Walmart for 30 bucks in the spring. Amazon also has Yeti insulated cups. A Yeti Rambler 20 oz. travel mug is $38. A travel mug is nice. It will keep your beer cold while traveling. However, many businesses buy non-Yeti mugs and have their business name put on the side. They then give them to their customers for free. We should mention that our bank does not do so. Its a demeaning thing to give a travel mug with the bank name on it to a customer. We give pens away to our customers with the bank name on them. They cost us 52 cents each if we buy 500. A real Yeti is also known as the Abominable Snowman. But only in certain parts of the world that have a lot of snow. It is similar to Bigfoot in the southern states of the US where they make moonshine. A yeti is an ape like creature that can be as tall as 15 feet. But most are only 8-9 feet tall. They inhabit many areas of the earth. The Himalayas. Siberia. Tibet. North America. If they feel threatened, or are hungry, they are known to attack humans. And they are spreading across the country of Mongolia. There is a mass migration of Yetis every year according to the Mongolians. So what should you do if you are attacked? An actor and explorer from England named Brian Blessed has the answer. He says .Run. The physical characteristics of a Yeti is such that you can outrun them. However, it would be helpful if you are in good shape and can keep running for a longer distance than the Yeti can. But how about if you were running and you lost your checkbook.
