How Headlines Are Made

Two boys in Boston were playing baseball when one of them was attacked by a killer Rottweiler. The dog had already locked his jaws on the boy's leg.

Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped a board off of a nearby fence, wedged it into the dog's collar and twisted it, breaking the dog's neck. A newspaper reporter from the Boston Herald 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, 'John Kerry Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Dog Attack.'

"But  I'm not a John Kerry fan either," the boy responds.

The reporter says, "I  assumed everybody in this state was either for the Red Sox, John Kerry or Ted Kennedy . What team or person do you like?''

"I'm a Yankees fan, and I really like Mitt Romney," the boy says.

Hitting the delete key, the  reporter begins again: 'Arrogant Little Snot-Nosed Mormon Republican Kills  Beloved Family Pet.'
