The Journalist and a U.S. Marine
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 profusely.
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 have 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 United States Marine and a Republican."
The journalist leaves.
The following morning, the biker buys a copy of 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!
