BIKER STORY Receives New York Times Best

 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 jack et 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 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 front page:

U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

You know why they named it the New York Times, don't you?

National Enquirer was already taken...
 
I wonder whether lion limbs dislocate in the same fashion as human limbs. Might be a useful thing to know if you can't take out the eyes.
 
Heh.  Ymar, yer sufferin' a little target-fixation of late...  ;^ )
 
Naw, it's just cause this lion story reminded me of California where a lion got goaded by a bunch of teenagers throwing shat at it, jumped up at the walls, climbed up and over, and mauled one or such other dude.

You got to be prepared for these things ; )


 
Scratch lion, I believe it was a tiger actually.
 
And bears, Oh My!
 
Exactly what I was thinking, Kat, when Bill said I had switched up the lion the Marine targeted for a tiger.
