Default GREAT PUT DOWN!!

US Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day by a female interviewer. Regardless of how you feel about gun control this is one of the best comeback lines of all time.



This is part of a National Public Radio (NPR) interview between the female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald as he was preparing 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.



You gotta love the YANK ARMY

my point wasnt that your an idiot for posting up stuff that has been around for years......but if the cap fits.

Scooby In A Lake. You get pedant's popping up and screaming it when you post something that has been previously posted. Usually you'll find the same person correcting your grammar, spelling, and punctuation (speeling mistakes inentional )

In my home town, "leet" just means "daft". If you hear something funny, unbelievable or crazy, a Castlefordian might exclaim "That's leet!" Etymology unknown, but possibly from the phrase "light in the head".

A while ago some pictures of a Scooby In A Lake - literally in a lake - were posted dozens of times by different people within a short space of time. From this, SIAL was born. One of the pictures is:
