    Default A great Put Down!

    General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.

    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 an ABCradio 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 radiocastwent silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the interview was over.

    HAHAHA fair call. To bad its not real, I would crack-up laughing if I heard this for real.

    Just for the record, this is actually an urban myth - never happened

    The original version started in the 90's using a US General. Every few years it is circulated via email with names/countries changed to suit.
