Marnix Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 My cousin sent me this. It's probably an urban legend (i.e, made up) but a good story nevertheless. And with the direction recent threads are going, I figured we could do with a bit of a laugh... The Interview Note: This is an exact replication of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster, and US Army General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation. 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." 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." 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." 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
