A Lion escapes from Sydney Zoo. The big cat grabs a little girl and shoots off to a corner of the park to have her for lunch. Panic. Consternation.
A bronzed young man rushes forward, kills the lion with his bare hands and returns the child unharmed to her parents.
A reporter arrives from the Sydney Morning Herald. I can make you a star, son, he chortled. I can see the headline now Aussie hero saves little girl from certain death'.
That's great, said the young man, But actually I'm British. Well that's OK, retorted the hack. We'll just have to play around with the headline a bit Pommie bastard strangles kid's pet'.
:D
