Radio Interview Backfires

The Internet recently carried an excerpt from a live radio interview on one of the regional Welsh stations in Great Britain.  A female newscaster interviewed the leaders of a youth club.

Interviewer:   So, Mr. Jones, what are you going to do with these children on this adventure holiday?

Jones:   We're going to teach them climbing, abseiling [rappelling], canoeing, archery, shooting...

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

Jones:   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?

Jones:   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 be violent killers!

Jones:   Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not - are you?

Needless to say, the interview was terminated almost immediately.
