Johnny and Kip were playing hockey at Forest Park skating rink. Suddenly a vicious pit bull came up and attacked Kip. Instead of panicking, Johnny sneaked up behind the dog, stuck his hockey stick in the dog’s collar, and broke the dog’s neck.

A reporter from St. Louis heard about what had happened with the boy and he went to the Johnny’s house to him. He asked Johnny how all of this happened, and Johnny told him. Then he asked Johnny if he could write about him, and Johnny said sure. So the reporter pulled out his notepad and started writing, “Blues fan from St. Louis saves friend from vicious dog.”

Johnny said, “I’m not a Blues fan.”

So the reporter started writing again. “Cardinals fan from St. Louis saves friend from dog.”

Johnny said, “I’m not a Cardinals fan either.”

The reporter finally asked, “What the hell are you a fan of?”

Johnny said, “I’m a Detroit Redwings fan.”

The reporter frowned and stared writing again: “Little bastard from Michigan kills family pet.”
