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 newspaper 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, grinning widely.
Hitting the delete key, the reporter begins again, "Arrogant Little Yankee Punk Kills Beloved Family Pet."
