A Harley rider is passing 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 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'm a journalist from the New York
Times, 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 Republican.'
The following morning the biker buys the New York
Times to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and
reads on the front page:
