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, in front 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 profusely.
A New York Times reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter, addressing the biker, says, 'Sir, that was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen 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 US 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 the front page:
U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
That's hilarious. I love how the NY Times just loved John McCain until he became the Republican nominee...Then they started to treat him like a Republican again.
ReplyDeleteOh that is soooo true!!! LOL Isn't it sad?? A friend and I were talking about her sons who were going to be deployed to Iraq in a couple of months, and she said she wasn't very worried. Their sargeant said that the hype in the media makes it out much worse than it is, and that it's actually just build up over there. This blog certainly points that out.
