Got this in my email today. Have to agree, this is an awesome one! Short yet good This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps 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 discipline before they even touch a firearm. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers. GENERAL REINWALD: 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.  |

Yah it was good one, but fake. www.snopes.com/military/reinwald.htm |
Damn. I should learn not to trust everything I get in my email.  But I still laughed my ass off. It was the first time I'd seen it. |
You won't laugh once you find out what is happening since you "verified" your PayPal account.

A friend of mine used that line all the time. 
Amen. Stuff like this goes straight into the trash. Same with chain letters, etc. I HATE junk mail!

Such a noob post.... I bet someone will post the doctors/guns thing in GD within the next week. Just remember, AR15.com has been around for YEARS. If you get an email or some gun related story, and you think it would be good to post on ARFCOM... chances are... SOMEONE ALREADY DID. Thank you. Carry on. |
Bloody hell! What happened to that thing? -Storm |
Just the usual initiation and ARFCOM hazing. You haven't been around here long enough to understand... "That'll buff right out!"  |

"I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly." -Winston Churchill "Winston, if I were your wife I'd put poison in your coffee." Whereupon Winston said, "Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it." -Exchange between Winston Churchill and Lady Astor. |
Certainly not the "best" but I am not known for being overly clever, so I was a little proud of myself: I conduct myself in a very gentlemanly manner and as I approached a retail store of some type (don't remember which, it's been several years) at the same time as a woman in her 30's, I automatically opened the door and waited a moment for her to go through. She stopped short and with a nasty sneer said, "I can do that MYSELF!" Her man-hating rage just dripped from her countenance. I smiled pleasantly, stood there with the door open, and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I mistook you for a lady." I waited until she finally went in ahead of me, smiling like a monkey the whole time. Not very gentlemanly of me, but it suuuuuuuure felt good.
