A LESSON LEARNED

A Marine Corps General was recently interviewed on the radio by a female interviewer concerning an upcoming visit by a Boy Scout troop. It teaches us a valuable lesson. Don't open your mouth until you have completely thought about what you are about to say.

INTERVIEWER: So, General, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL: 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: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended. Unfortunately for the lady, she learned her lesson a little too late, and in a very public way.
