I Hope This Don\'t Offend Nobody (Joke)

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED!

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 NYT reporter has seen the whole scene and, addressing the

biker, says, \'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw 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.\'

\'Well, I\'ll make sure this won\'t go unnoticed. I\'m a

journalist from the New York Times, you know, and tomorrow\'s paper will have

this on the first page. What motorcycle do you ride and what political

affiliation do you have?\'

\'A Harley Davidson and I am a Republican.\'

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys The New York Times to

see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads on the first page:

\'REPUBLICAN BIKER GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT

AND STEALS HIS LUNCH!\'

What\'s to offend, great joke, or is it... sounds like the Times to me.

I think I did read that story in the NYT a couple months ago.
