OT: Early Friday story from NPR.
A friend was listening to the radio the other day, and reportedly heard one of the all-time best comeback lines.
Note: This is an exact replication of National Public Radio (NPR)interview between a female broadcaster, and US Army 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, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?"
The radio went silent and the interview ended.
Go Army!

Re: Thanks for the update, Bob. I'm trying to decide what your 'Sigh..." means.
Sorry, but I get stuff like this all the time emailed around, without anyone doing any basic checking out of its truthfulness. Guess Im getting curmudgeny in my old age...

Have you received the one about the $.05 tax on all email that is in Congress RIGHT NOW!
That's right, every e-mail will be taxed $.05. It's a bill in Congress right now. Sheesh.
This is a near impossibility so I didn't even look it up on the hoax sites for verification. My father was all up in arms about this. I don't get it, aren't baby boomers relatively wired? He uses the internet every day!! LOL!

Fortunately...
...Ive applied the clue-by-four enough times that alot of the stuff never reaches me anymore. Now, Im not sure if they arent sending it to me, or if theyve been enlightened enough to actually wander by snopes for 30 seconds to see if this stuff is true or not. YMMV
