A biker on a Harley is riding by the zoo in Washington , DC, when he sees a little girl leaning into a lion's cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his Harley, 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 reporter has watched the whole event. Addressing the Harley rider, he says, "Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life."
The Harley rider 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'll make sure this won't go unnoticed . I'm a journalist, you know, 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 journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
" U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH!"
And that pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.
When I was in college at UT Knoxville (1977-1983) the Journalism students and professors were liberal dip$hits. There is a lot of truth in the joke which makes it ironic.
That’s great!
Just sent to all my Marines. Thanks!
Here's a really true one.
Planned Parenthood cleared, but 2 indicted over videos
The PP Clinics who were illegally selling baby parts were absolved of all charges, and the protestors who EXPOSED the crime were convicted.
You’re right...
Umm, no. They were not "convicted"
Yet
Great I just sent that to our family Harley Riders!
Sounds like what happened to my grandchild. Neighbor’s dog went after her (she was 5 yo), and had her head gripped in his mouth.
Neighbor - across the street saw the attack - came running and sucker-punched the dog .. who let go and fell over unconscious.
The eerie thing .. the neighbor is a long-haul truck driver, and he is usually never home on that day of the week.
Guess it pays to pray over your grandchildren.
I've got $1 that says they won't be convicted. Are you hoping they will?
