| Don't know whether any one spotted this, But: THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER !!! General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio the other day and you 'll love his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you have got to love this!!!! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of ABC interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base? GENERAL COSGROVE: We 're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That 's a bit irresponsible, isn 't it? GENERAL COSGROVE: I don 't see why, they 'll be properly supervised on the rifle range. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don 't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous Activity to be teaching children? GENERAL COSGROVE: I don 't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you 're equipping them to become violent killers. GENERAL COSGROVE: Well, Ma 'am, you 're equipped to be a prostitute, but you 're not one, are you? The radio went silent and the interview ended |

| fvking Brilliant!!!!! My dad is a full colonel in the Army and I was fortunate enough to be firing such weapons as the M60 / M16 machine guns, 7.62SLR and 0.22 rifles and an assortment of handguns etc since the age of 6. Sure I may also had come second in a state army cadet rifle shoot off in 94 over 500m but that does'nt make me a terribly dangerous violent killer. |

| Pffff, nuke, that is for babies. When I was 8, my dad let me press a button to detonate some underwater bomb that set off a huge tsunami... He then dropped me off on a parachute, and I surfed it all the way over those little islands that got in the way. |

| To be fair, it was pointed out above by four people in this thread: nayR, me, Miles and Callum, with Travis and Daniel entering satirical points of their own. Meanwhile, a bunch of people who do not wish to be known for sound judgment jumped up and down excitedly as if the story had ever made sense other than to their prejudices. Had it gone in the jokes thread, then it might have been excusable. |
