Great Comeback Line ... {urban myth}
 

Could be an urban legend, and is most probably bullshit, but worth the read ....

This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.

It is a portion of an old Australian ABC television interview between a female broadcaster and General Peter Cosgrove (ex head of the Australian Defence Forces, and now all round nice guy doing lots of non-Army crap) who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters (he was still the Army boss at this time).

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, butyou're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

:winkwink:

haha nice.....gotta remember that one.

ive heard that before but with different people. so dunno if its true or not.

hehehe... yeah - fiction or not - that one's worth committing to memory.

Like I said, be an urban myth almost for sure.

:2 cents:

My favorite comeback:

(woman to parking enforcement officer who just wrote her a ticket)

"I guess you're happy now that you've made your quote for the day, huh?"

Officer: "No ma'am...we don't have quotas. The boss lets us write as many tickets as we can."

bwhahahah that is awesome

Office co-worker (to George who is gorging himself on shrimps): "Hey George, the ocean called, they're running outta shrimp"

George: "Oh yeah? Well the jerkstore called, they're running outta YOU"

Co-worker: "What's the difference? You're their alltime best seller!"

George: "Yeah? Well... I had sex with your wife!"



Best comeback ever :D

smooth :thumbsup
