OT: This is an exact transcript of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female interviewer, and US Army General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation. Enjoy. 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 range 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.

Jim--what do you mean "play money" ? I thought as gentlemen we were obligated to back our plays with real money! Are you saying I bought $100k of KEG, PGO,UFAB,GW and PKD for no reason? Oh, well.--Frank
