    Right Arm General Cosgrove!

    ��� ���� 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?



    Not really a joke... but priceless!

    Sorry to dampen this, but Peter Cosgrove is a gentleman as well as a wonderful Military Leader (ret.). He didn't say that in the interview. It would not even cross his mind to say something like that. Nor by the way did the interviewer. Someone has used a ton of largesse to tell this tale.
    That line is from a very old joke that also appeared on this thread a few months ago.
