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.
