While he was walking he happened upon a pit bull attacking
a small child. His instincts took over, and he ran to the child's
aid. He grabbed the dog, pulled him from the child, and
choked the dog until he was dead.
As the dead animal lay at his feet, a man came running
over from the other side of the street. He announced that he
was the star reporter for the Atlanta newspaper, and he
would make the rescuer famous.
"ATLANTA MAN SAVES
CHILD FROM GRUESOME DEATH,"
the headlines would proclaim.
The would-be savior explained that it was very nice, but he
was from Boston - not Atlanta. The next day the headlines of
the Atlanta paper read:
"YANKEE BASTARD KILLS FAMILY PET."
