Alabama boy
Two boys are playing football in Huntsville, Alabama, when one is attacked by a rabid rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy rips a big board off of a nearby fence, wedges it down the dog's collar, and twists it, breaking the dog's neck.
A reporter was strolling by, sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy. "Young Alabama Crimson Tide Fan Rescues Friend From Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook.
"But I'm not a Alabama Crimson Tide fan," the little hero replies.
"Sorry -- since we're in Huntsville, I just assumed you were," says the reporter, and he starts again. "Little Auburn Tigers Fan Rescues Friend From Deathly Attack," he continues in his notebook.
"I'm not a Auburn fan either," the boy says.
"I assumed everyone who lived in the Alabama area was either for Alabama or Auburn. What team do you root for?" the reporter asks.
"I'm a Tennessee Volunteer fan," the boy replies.
The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes, "Little Redneck Kills Beloved Family Pet!"
