This has got to be the all-time classic comeback. This is an exact recount
of US 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.

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 range
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.
