THE BEST COMEBACK LINE .....


 
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.
 
This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of an
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.
