HEADLINE NEWS MAKER

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 seen the whole scene,
and addressing the biker, says 'Sir, this was the
most gallant and brave thing I have ever seen a man
do in my whole life.'

'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind
bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted
as I felt right.' said the biker.

'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a
journalist, you know, and tomorrow's papers will have
this on the first page. What motorcycle do you ride?'
asked the reporter.

'A Harley Davidson' said the biker.

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see
if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads
the following headline on page one:

BIKER GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND
STEALS HIS LUNCH.
