A young boy in Macon
Georgia was attacked by a dog. A passerby grabbed the dog
and choked it to death, saving the child's life. As this
was all happening, the editor of the Macon newspaper was
driving by. He was thrilled to have witnessed this act of
heroism by the man. He told the
man that his name would be on the front page of the next
day's edition. The headline would read, "Macon man
saves boy's life".
The man replied, "That's
wonderful, but I'm not from Macon."
The editor says, "Fine, how about,
'Georgia man saves boy's life'?"
The man says, "That's fine, but
I'm not from Georgia."
The editor says, "Okay, where are
you from?"
The man explains that he is on vacation
from Illinois.
The next day, the front page of the
paper read, "Deranged Yankee Kills Family Pet!"
