Dog Rides Tricycle, Cat Rides Dog, Mice Do Gymnastics

May 4, 2001 Somewhere

In response to yesterday's "Man Rides Bike, Dog Rides Man" article, one reader of The Scoop brought to our attention that we ought to make a small editorial correction.

So, with our apologies, please accept the following amendment to yesterday's transcript:

"When a dog bites a man, that is not news, because it happens so often.  But if a man bites a dog, that is news."

Frank M. O'Brien,
The Story of the Sun (1918)

"When a man rides a bike, that is not news.  But if a dog rides a man who rides a bike, now that is news."

The Scoop (May 3, 2001)

"When a dog rides a tricycle, that is not news.  When a cat rides a tricycle, that is not news.  When a mouse does gymnastics, that is not news.  But if a mouse does gymnastics on a cat who rides a dog who rides a tricycle, you need to call Sam Donaldson right away."
