    THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER?


    General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio the other day and you'll love his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children.

    Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you got to love this!!!!

    This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of ABC 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 radio went silent and the interview ended.

    Stupid and immature, and apparently not even true.

    Whatever, man. The man has a point (even if the conversation is facetious.)

    and now it's bloody yellow and I can't see it. I think we should do away with the black, white and yellow text options. THey're a pain.

    I don't care about the point he's trying to make. I just think it's a bit cruel to say that to a woman.

    I see.

    Well, you do have a point. Perhaps he could've phrased it in a way that was more neutral. Like.. "a woman is equipped with all that she needs to be a prostitute," even if the effect may or may not be slightly different.
