Have you heard this one?

A reporter for a U.S. paper sees a man rescue a little girl being attacked by a dog by grabbing the animal by the throat and throttling it. He rushes up to the man and says, "that was wonderful. Tomorrow you will see it written up in the paper with a headline 'Local hero rescues tot by subduing ferocious beast.'"

The man responds, "thank you very much, but I am just visiting the city." The reporter then says, "in that case, the headline will read 'American rescues little girl.'"

The man again responds, "but I am not an American, I come from the Middle East." The reporter then tells him, "in that case, the headline will read 'Terrorist strangles family pet.'"
