A man is jogging 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 jogger, 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 jogger 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 jogger 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 jogger replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.'
The following morning the jogger buys The New York Times to see if it
indeed brings news of his actions, and it reads, on the front page:
'U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS DETAINED AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH'
What a world.....what a world.....
