<p>A fellow from Boston was in Louisiana visiting family. One day he decided to take a walk around the area where his relatives lived to enjoy their fine, comfortable southern way of life-- something he was not accustomed to, being from the north.</p>
<p>While walking he happened upon a pit bull attacking a small child. His instincts took over, and he ran to the child’s aid. He grabbed the dog, pulled him from the child, and choked the dog until he was dead. As the dead animal lay at his feet, a man came running over from the other side of the street.</p>
<p>He announced that he was the star reporter for a big Louisiana newspaper, and he would make the rescuer famous. “LOUISIANA MAN SAVES CHILD FROM GRUESOME DEATH,” the headlines would proclaim.</p>
<p>The would-be savior thought that this sounded great, but explained that he was from Boston – not Louisiana. The next day the headlines of the Louisiana paper read: “YANKEE KILLS FAMILY PET.”</p>
