Old, gray, bald? - I resemble that remark.

Here's a cute little quip I got today.

Two boys in Boston 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 newspaper reporter from the Boston Globe witnessed the incident and
rushed over to interview the boy. The reporter began entering data
into his laptop, beginning with the headline:

"Brave Young Celtics Fan Saves Friend From Jaws Of Vicious Animal."

"But I'm not a Celtics fan, "the little hero interjected.

"Sorry,"replied the reporter. "But since we're in Boston, Mass, I just
assumed you were."

Hitting the delete key, the reporter began:

"John Kerry Fan rescues Friend From Horrific Dog Attack."

"But I'm not a Kerry fan either," the boy responds.

The reporter says, "I assumed everybody in this state was either for
the Celtics or Kerry or Kennedy."

"What team or person do you like? "

"I'm a Houston Rockets fan, and I really like George W. Bush" the boy says.

Hitting the delete key, the reporter begins again,

"Arrogant Little Conservative Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet."

Enjoy,
