FIRST PERIOD

A little hockey joke
 

Two boys are playing hockey on a pond in Forest Park (St. Louis)
when one is suddenly attacked by a rabid rottweiller.

Thinking quickly,the other boy takes his stick and shoves it under the dogs collar,
twists it, breaking the dogs neck and saving his friend.

A reporter who was strolling by sees the incident and rushes over to interview the boy.

"Young Blues Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal"
he starts writing in his notebook.

"But I'm not a Blues fan", the little hero replied.

"Sorry, since we are in St. Louis, I just assumed you were"
said the reporter and he starts again.

"Cardinals Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack",
he continued writing in his notebook.

"I'm not a Cardinals fan either", the boy said.

"Oh, I assumed everyone in St. Louis was either for the Blues or the Cardinals.
What team do you root for?" the reporter asked.

"I'm a Red Wings fan", the child said.

The reporter starts a new sheet in his note book and writes:

"Little Bastard From Michigan Kills Beloved Family Pet"
