The is at the bottom of this actual interview, but you'll need to 
read the article to appreciate it...enjoy!

This is a verbatim extract from a National Public Radio interview between
a female broadcaster and Army LT.GEN. Reinwald about sponsoring a Boy
Scout Troop on his military installation.
----------------------------

Interviewer:  "So, LT.GEN. Reinwald, what are you going to do 
with these young boys on their adventure holiday?"

LTGEN Reinwald: "We're going to teach them climbing, 
canoeing, archery, and shooting."

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

LTGEN Reinwald: "I don't see why, they'll be properly 
supervised on  the range."

Interviewer: "Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous
activity to be teaching children?"

LTGEN Reinwald:  "I don't see how, we will be teaching them 
proper range discipline before they even touch a firearm."

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

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

DEAD AIR.....NO FURTHER QUESTIONS..

The two butchers were brought into the emergency room.
They both had their left hands bandaged.  "What happened?"  I 
asked the first one.  "I was cutting some meat when the cleaver 
slipped and cut my hand."  I asked the other one how he had
been injured.  "Oh, I was showing the other guys what *this*
guy was doing and I did the same thing."
