Newspaper Headline
Posted by: JesterIt’s a beautiful spring day in downtown Raleigh, N.C.
In the park near the capitol. Folks are picnicking and children are playing.
Suddenly, a pit bull attacks a 3-year-old child, and everyone is paralyzed in shock.
The child is screaming, the dog is snarling and biting. A man steps forward, separates the child and the animal, and snaps the dog’s neck.
Everyone exhales in relief, and a young woman runs over to the man.
“Mister,” she says, “That was incredible. I’m a reporter for the Raleigh News and Observer, and this is going to be on the front page of tomorrow’s edition. I can see the headline now—Raleigh Man Saves Tot!”
And he says, “Well, actually, I’m not originally from Raleigh.”
And she says, “I can see the headline now—North Carolina Man Stops Attack!”
And he says, “Well, to tell the truth, I’m not originally from North Carolina.”
She asks, “Where are you from?”
“New York,” he replies.
And she says, “I can see the headline now—Yankee Bastard Slays Family Pet!”
