While on their vacation in Georgia, a young married couple from New York, picnicking by a stream, were surprised by a stampeding herd of wild donkeys.
One of the jacks attacked the husband, knocking him down. The animal was standing over him about to inflict serious injury when the courageous young wife drove off the dangerous beast with repeated blows from an umbrella.
Later on, they related the incident to the manager of the hotel where they were staying. He said that it would make a good story for the local gazette.
In due time they returned home to New York; a week later they received a copy of the Georgia weekly which contained the story of their adventure.
Flabbergasted, the young couple read the following headline: "Yankee Bride Beats Ass Off Husband With Umbrella!"
