Don't know if it is true or not, but either way, it is funny.

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?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

I don't get it. Was she wearing hooker clothing? What does Snopes say? Where is Kimberly?

sonny

I get it, very cute. .
Geez Ray. . .

Ray is being difficult today. Some might say, "grumpy".x0:)

That's OK, Sonny made me smile. I missed her and glad she's back.

False.

(I swear I wouldn't have posted it if not for Ray's specific request - but since he asked, I just had to oblige!)

joannie

No problem, KK, and thanks for trying to appease Ray. If this doesn't work, maybe we should take up a collection and send him a box of Bran Flakes.

Thank you Kimberly, I'm glad to hear your voice of reason. Actually, a postmodernist would say that since ultimately there is no absolute truth and since that story has the air of plausibility, then we could recognize it as being true for some people. In Joannie's mind it can be true and that makes it valid for her. She could then converse with others of a like mind and they could build their reality around their perception of their own constructed truth. Carry on.

Folks, you have just witnessed the damaging effects of Mountain Dew.

So sad.

Actually, it sounded like a position statement drafted by Dick Cheney.

Ok, that was maybe the funniest thing ever posted on HR HERO. Rita gets 3 points.
