THE BEST Put Down LINE EVER

For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an "Australian treasure!"

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 very much doubt that, seeing as the whole story is a fabrication.

Sure, it's funny as a joke, but that's all it ever was.
 
That story has been attributed to lots of different people over the years...


Still funny though :lol:
 
Badger - Wasnt it

Woman - " You are a drunk"

Churchill -" I may be drunk, but you are ugly, I will soon be sober but you will always be ugly"

:p


Nilagin - Great :p - Who cares if its real or not... wouldnt we all love to be that witty to come back with that within a split second :p
 
I prefer your version Gary...though I think James may have it slightly more accurate :lol:
 
Ahhh, this thread had me LOLing like a mental patient in my office...on my own :D
 
:lol::clap: Thanks, Set me up for the day.
 
The best put down I heard attributed to Winston Churchill was

Woman... "If I was your wife Sir, I'd poison you!"

Winston... "Madam, if you were my wife, I'd let you!"

total class

My vote goes to Sigmund Freud at a dinner party

Siggy (to woman at his right): Madam, would you sleep with me tonight?

Woman: (outraged) Certainly not!

Siggy: Would you sleep with me tonight for a million pounds?

Woman: (thoughtful) For a million pounds? Yes, for a Million Pounds I would sleep with you...

Siggy: Would you sleep with me for Five pounds?

Woman: Certainly not! What kind of woman do you think I am!?

Siggy: Madam, we have already established what kind of woman you are, we are merely haggling over the price...
 
I like the one Churchill is meant to have muttered....

edit: ok so it may have already been posted by badgerbaiter but this is the less blunt version I know :)

Elizabeth Braddock: Mr. Churchill, you are drunk.
Churchill: And you madam, are ugly. As for my condition, it will pass by the morning. You, however, will still be ugly.

:lol:

Ha.... Many people in the classroom looked at me funny :D
 
its funny, but i wonder how many of these are actually true (obvioulsy i made mine up, but the more famous ones i mean).
I bet some are made up somewhere along the line and others have been polished as they spread.
 
The original post is a fakezor!
 
One of my favourites is:

Patsy Stone - Absolutely Fabulous. "One more facelift on this one and she'll have a beard."
 
Two more and Im done.

Save Your Breath... You'll need it to blow up your date!

and

Try not to let your mind wander. It is too small to be out by itself.

Another (probably fabricated) radio show that went wrong involved couples answering highly personal questions independently - give the same answers and they win a holiday...

Radio presenter asks the boyfriend the question 'when and where did you last have sex?' to which he replies 'this morning in the bedroom'.

Same question is asked to the girlfriend, she answers 'this morning' then goes a bit sheepish. Radio presenter presses her for an answer (it is for a holiday after all) and she eventually replies ... 'up the bum'.

Stunned silence.

It may well be fake but the (supposed) recording of that call was all over the internet a couple of years back. Real or not, it was funny as ....
 
The best put down line iv ever had was..

"F*@k off, you ****"...

Short and sweet.. :thumbs: I like simple girls... :lol:
 
Personally I'm generally a fan of damning by faint praise.

"Who? Oh him. Yeah. He's, er ... he's really ... nice."
 
Basil Fawlty: Stupidissimo! Continental cretin!

Ive been watching Fawlty Towers the past few days :D
