General Cosgrove (an Australian) was interviewed on the radio recently.
Read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children.
Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you have to love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.
In a portion of an ABC radio 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 radiocast went silent for 46 seconds........

Ja nê?     Ek wonder of sy haar asem kon terug kry in 46 sekondes. 

[Lox]

skerp van hom, ek laaik hom dat hy haar tjank afgetrap het.

Bulder ek alweer onvroulik vir 'n ou grappie uit Gatkantland. Moet se, die Ausies het 'n anderste sin vir humor. Skerp soos 'n lemmetjie!

[PM]

Dis wat jy kry as jy in die messelaai slaap.  Skerp! 

Dit was lekker om dit weer te lees.  Dit klink of ek vasgehaak het met my "lekker om weer te lees".    Mis ek nou vir Trappies.  Dit was mos haar prentjie.

Ek tel my seeninge vanaand, ek lees lekker saam
