Some guy on here posts funny stuff almost everyday. Well here is a real doozie.

True story (which makes it better)

A few years ago a reporter (a woman) called the General of a US Army base. This woman asked the General what he was going to be having the boy scouts doing at his Army base when they visited. The General mentioned a few things and also included Rifle shooting. "Rifle Shooting!" the woman asked, "isnt that dangerous for boys?" I do not see how said the General, they will be taught all needed safety requirements before they pick up a firearm. "But, Rifle shooting" These are children. The General said yes maam. " But You are equipping them to become violent killers"
The General said..........."Well maam you are equipped to be a prostitute but you aren't one are you?"
Their was just silence on the other end of the phone...........And then.........a dial tone.
 
The first time I heard it, about 12 years ago, it was an NPR reporter and a Marine Corps General. It named the General by name. The Corps never had a general officer by that name.

It makes a good story, but it's been debunked.

Sorry.
 
A distant relative by marriage was the Chief of Police in a small town 80-100 miles south of Chicago in the late 60's. He was a retired Air Force Sky Cop and took the civilian gig to build up a second pension. One day he is "graced" with a visit by one Jessie Jackson, seems the Reverend Jackson was insisting that he hire a black police officer NOW. John listened to him for about 45 seconds, excused himself, picked up a phone and asked that two of his officers report to his office. About 30 minutes later two BLACK police officers from this little town show up at the Chief's office. He introduces them to the Reverend Jackson, informs the officers that the Reverend insists he have one black police officer, turns to one of the officers and says "you've haven't been here as long as the other officer, you're fired now all 3 of you get the hell out of my office!"

Same basic story is told except it was during the Clinton administration and related to the affirmative action act. Story went on about a Nation Labor Relation Board member walking into a factory demanding to see the plant manager. Then the government jerks starts in I see you hire 200 people. Well this many need to be Hispanic and so many blacks and so many women. The manager calls for a meeting right them on the factory floor will all employees there. He forms them up by gender then race. Counts each group and starts telling each group. You, you and you, your fired to bring the minority groups down to the demanded levels.

As someone said, why ruin a good story with little things like facts!
