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 New York Times reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the biker says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant
and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life.'
The biker replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind
bars.
I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.'
The reporter says, '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 story on the front page...
So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you
have?''
The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a democrat.'
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 front page: *
US. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
