Two boys in Raleigh were playing basketball when one of them was
attacked by a rabid Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy
ripped a board off a nearby fence, wedged it into the dog’s
collar and twisted it, breaking the dog’s neck.
A reporter from the News & Observer witnessed the incident and
rushed over to interview the boy. The reporter began entering
data into his laptop, beginning with the headline: “Brave Young
Heels Fan Saves Friend From Jaws Of Vicious Animal.”
“But I’m not a Heels fan,” the little hero interjected.
“Sorry,” replied the reporter. “But since we’re in North
Carolina, I just assumed you were.”
Hitting the delete key, the reporter begins again, “NC State Fan
Rescues Friend From Horrific Dog Attack.” “But I’m not a State
fan either,” the boy responds. The reporter says, “I assumed
everybody in this state was either for the Heels or the
Wolfpack. What team do you root for?”
“I’m a Duke fan,” the boy says.
Hitting the delete key, the reporter begins again, “Arrogant
Little Yankee Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet.”
