Re: Joke of the day
This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of <br />National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was sponsoring a Boy Scout Troop he brought to his military base. <br /><br />FEMALE REPORTER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys while they're visiting your base? <br /><br />GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, and shooting. <br /><br />FEMALE REPORTER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it? GENERAL REINWALD: Not at all, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range <br /><br />FEMALE REPORTER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children? <br /><br />GENERAL REINWALD: No we are very safety conscious and will be teaching <br /><br />them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm. <br /><br />FEMALE REPORTER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers. <br /><br />GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a hooker, but you're not one, are you? <br /><br />The radio went silent and the interview ended. <br /><br />You gotta love the Marines...
