Major General Peter Cosgrove radio interview

[howlsatthemoon]

For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an 'Australian
treasure!'

General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently. You'll love 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 an ABC 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.

That reminds me of a story along similar lines about the crofter who was in trouble, not for making whisky, but for having a still in his house, i.e. for having the equipment for doing it.

His response was that while they were at it they could prosecute him for raping all the women in the village, because although he had not done this either, he had all the necessary equipment.

Man sees kids, thinks "guns."

Man sees woman, thinks "prostitute."

Yep, that's a funny guy. The level of humour has certainly been raised, a lot less digging required these days.
