Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read 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 sponsoring a Boy Scout Troop he brought to his military base.



FEMALE REPORTER:

So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys while they're visiting your base?

GENERAL REINWALD:

We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, and shooting.


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.


FEMALE REPORTER:

Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL REINWALD:

No we are very safety conscious and will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.


FEMALE REPORTER:

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!

Thanks for the url. It goes on to tell of another similar joke...




A couple went on vacation to a fishing resort up north. The husband liked to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife liked to read.

One morning the husband returned after several hours of fishing and decided to take a short nap. Although she wasn't familiar with the lake, the wife decided to take the boat out.

She rowed out a short distance, anchored, and returned to reading her book. Along came the sheriff in his boat. He pulled up alongside her and said, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading my book" she replies as she thinks to herself, "Isn't it obvious?"

"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informed her.

"But officer, I'm not fishing. Can't you see that?"

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with rape," snapped the irate woman.

"But, I haven't even touched you," groused the sheriff.

"Yes, that's true," she replied, "but you do have all the equipment."

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who knows how to read.

 

That is good. I would love to seen her face after he told her that!


Dang too bad it was a hoax! Would have been as classic as the General Patton slap to a yellow recruit!
