I recieved this today and thought it too funny not to share...

Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio 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 gotta love this!!!! This is
one of the best comeback lines of all time.

It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female
broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to
teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL REINWALD: 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 REINWALD: 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 REINWALD: 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.

You gotta love the Marines!

Kudos to the General for his quick wit and kudos to you for giving me a great laugh by bringing it to my attention.

It would be even funnier if it were true.

I love good comebacks.

I overheard this one at work today.
Wanda is one of my techs, an older southern lady. There was a customer giving her a very hard time.

Customer: How can they let someone like you work back here? You are so damn clueless.
Wanda: Sir, when your opinion means something to me, I wil let you know. But please, dont hold your breath, I dont know CPR either.

I actually heard that line used back in 1988. After training to be a rangemaster, the class went out for a beer. The instructor used it on some bimbo that was down on all military as "baby killers".

It does make a good yarn, though.
