A biker was riding by the zoo, when he saw a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabbed her by the cuff of her jacket
and tried to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumped off his bike, ran to the cage and hit the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain
the lion jumped back and let go of the girl. The biker then took her to her terrified parents, who thanked him endlessly.

A reporter saw the whole scene, and addressing the biker, said, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life.'

'Why, it was nothing,' said the biker, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.'

'I noticed a patch on your jacket,' said the journalist.

'Yeah, I ride with an Israeli motorcycle club,' the biker replied.

'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist with the Post, you know, and tomorrow's papers will have this on the front page.'

The following morning the biker bought the paper to see if it indeed brought out the news of his actions. On the front page was the headline:
























'ISRAELI GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS FOOD'


(I would ordinarily use this space for an emoticon, but somehow nothing seems appropriate.)

Kansan, I figured some bloke from the UK would explain page 3 girls. I just lived there for 3 years.
In some of there daily newspapers, on page 3, it shows a really hot girl with her top off. It would never fly here in the US but there it's common and no big deal. And it REALLY sells. Regular news but the page 3 thing is all that is different from our large city papers.
