Deep In The Heart Of Dixie
When a man in Macon,
Ga., came upon a wild dog attacking a young boy, he quickly grabbed the
animal and throttled it with his two hands. A reporter saw the incident,
congratulated the man and told him the headline the following day would
read, "Local Man Saves Child by Killing Vicious Animal." The hero, however, told the journalist that he wasn't from Macon.
"Well, then," the reporter said, "the headline will
probably say, 'Georgia Man Saves Child by Killing Dog.'"
"Actually," the man said, "I'm from
Connecticut."
"In that case," the reporter said in a huff, "the
headline will read, 'Yankee Kills Family Pet'."
