This is 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.

That was great. I would have loved to see the look on the interviewer's face. Too bad it was radio.

That really is a funny story but if you look on the urban legends web site you'll find out it never happened.

<<but is this true ? or another internet hoax?>>

Who knows. I got it in an email. But I could definitly see a Marine Corps General telling that to an NPR broadcaster who was whining about the danger of guns. He's a Marine general, I'm sure he knows a thing or 2 about guns that she doesnt.

Hahaha, that is gold! Someone look up this General Reinwald to see if there's such a person. If he exists, I'll believe this story.
That is quality stuff right there.

This one is known to be true. Lady Astor and Winston Churchill happened to be spending the same weekend at Churchill's cousin's estate and argued the entire time.

Lady Astor: "Winston, if I were your wife I'd put poison in your coffee."
Winston: "Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it."
