Best Comback Line Ever

[cburnworth]

[FONT=&quot]For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an 'Australian treasure!'[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.

Read his reply to

the lady who interviewed him

concerning guns and children.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.

It is a portion of an[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]ABC[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]radio 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 radiocast[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]went silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the interview was over.
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And that is why he is a General, instead of a liberal radio announcer...Love it!!!!![/FONT]

In this case, I think ignorance would have been bliss, at least for a little while longer.
My wife almost spit iced tea across the living room when I read this to her.

I like when they use the Marine General instead.

Even though it's not true, it's right on the mark.

I prefer to use Major Caudill.

Major Caudill, you are a true American hero.

Note: 15 years ago this chain e-mail started in the UK during the hysteria over the Dunblane massacre. It was Welsh children and a camp counselor "Mr. Jones". It has mutated greatly over the years.
