A biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion
grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under
the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square
on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and
the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
A NYT reporter has seen the whole scene, and addressing the biker, says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave
thing I saw a man do in my whole life.'
'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted
as I felt right.'
'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a> journalist from the New York Times, you know, and
tomorrow's paper will have this on the first page. What do you do for a living and what political
affiliation do you have?'
'I am a U.S. Marine and a Republican.'
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys The New York Times to see if it indeed brings
news of his actions, and reads, on first page:
U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
