Best Comeback EVER!! GO Marines!!!

I copied this off of an email I received:


THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER!_

_____ Marine Corp's General Reinwald was interviewed on the
radio the other day and you have to 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 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, Ma'am, you're equipped to be
a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

_____ The radio went silent and the interview ended.

_____ You gotta love the Marines!


I LOVE This Country

From the Snopes site
Q: How do I know the information you've presented is accurate?

A: We don't expect anyone to accept us as the ultimate authority on any topic, which is why our site's name indicates that it contains reference pages. Unlike the plethora of anonymous individuals who create and send the unsigned, unsourced e-mail messages that are forwarded all over the Internet, we show our work. The research materials we've used in the preparation of any particular page are listed in the bibliography displayed at the bottom of that page so that readers who wish to verify the validity of our information may check those sources for themselves.
