A Harley rider is passing the Bronx 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 back to her terrified parents, who
thank him endlessly.
A New York Times reporter has watched the whole thing. The reporter
says to the biker, "Sir, that's the most gallant and brave thing I
ever 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 I
had to."
The reporter says, "Well, I'm 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, just out of my own curiosity, what
political affiliation do you have?"
The biker replies, "I'm a U.S. Marine and I'm 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:
U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT
AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
