A Boston Story
Two boys in Boston were playing baseball when one of them was attacked by a killer Rottweiler. The dog had already locked its jaws on the boy's leg. Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped a board off a nearby fence, wedged it into the dog's collar and twisted it, breaking the dog's neck.
A newspaper reporter from the Boston Globe witnessed the incident and rushed over to interview the boy. The reporter began entering data into his laptop, beginning with the headline,
"Brave Boston Red Sox Fan Saves Friend from Jaws of Vicious Animal"
"But I'm not a Boston Red Sox fan," the little hero interjected. "Sorry," replied the reporter. "But since we're in Boston, I just assumed you were." Hitting the delete key, the reporter began again,
"John Kerry Supporter Rescues Friend from Horrific Dog Attack"
"But I don't like John Kerry either," the boy responded. The reporter said, "I assumed everybody in this state was a fan of either the Red Sox, John Kerry, or Ted Kennedy. So what team or person do you like?"
"I'm a Texas Rangers fan, and I really like Ron Paul," the boy said.
