    That is without a doubt one hell of a comeback.The reporter was being rediculous and got zinged for it.

    I had heard that somewhere before, are you sure it was recent? That is a great comeback.
    Another good one that I experienced first hand was at the county fair, law enforcement had a display of real narcotics out for display. A druggy came up and asked the deputy on the other side of the table what he would do if the druggy snatched the drugs and took off with them. The deputy looked straight at him, and without smiling said "Nothing I could do if you can run 1400 feet per second". I just about died laughing.

    Do not mistake my kindness for weakness.

    It is a myth but is is till funny.

    If you will blame gun makers for every shooting then blame car maker for every car accident.

    Sadly, it *is* a myth, but truly one of the best of the genre!
