The Best Comeback Line Ever...


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.
