a good put down line
Here you are a portion of an interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters.
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, but you’re not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended.
