Today's chuckle...and unfortunately pretty darn close to the truth!

The Biker and the Lion

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 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 <http://www.nytimes.com/> to
see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on front page:

IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
