The Best Comeback Line Ever...

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Clients' Choice Realty

>  THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER!
>
>  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

Just trying to figure this AR thing out...
Want to see if commenting on my own post brings it back to the front of the line.
We'll see!

Troy, I was told it does reactivate when you get a new comment, but not sure about commenting on your own......So now that you have a new comment and your own, you can see the difference.  Let me know!

Hi Marina,
That is about the best I have heard.  I agree with Ed, if only I were that quick--I can come up with really good ones, 30 minutes later.  Thanks, love it.

She got what she deserved for taking pot shot at a member of our armed forces just trying to do a little good. Why do so many want to disrespect the very people we should be praising.
