The Biker and Lion

[BULLO12]

A  Harley rider is passing 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  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 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'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 biker  replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and 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  front  page
