THE "Buffalo Evening News" REPORTER

Two boys were in Buffalo, NY , playing street hockey when one of the boys is attacked by a rabid pit bull. Thinking quickly, the other boy takes his hockey stick, wedges it down the dog's collar and twists, breaking the

dog's neck.

A Buffalo News reporter hears about the incident and rushes over to

interview the boy. "Young Sabres Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook.

"But I'm not a Buffalo Sabres fan," the young hero replies.

"Sorry," replied the reporter, "since we're in Buffalo, I just assumed you

were.

" "Bills Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Animal Attack," the reporter continues in his notebook. "But I'm not a Buffalo Bills fan, either," the boy responds.

"I just thought everyone in Buffalo was either a Sabres or a Bill's fan,"replied the reporter."Then whom may I ask do you root for?"

"I'm a Toronto Maple Leafs fan," the boy answers proudly.

The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes, "Little

Canadian Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet."
