FW: Best comeback line ever ??

 

 


 

Best comeback line ever ??

 

 
This has got to be one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of a 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, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended......
