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.

When I first saw this post title I thought it was for a vomit bucket...

Thanks, that was good read!

Boy. you're making me sorry I picked up that motor for you.....

I think he might be able to shoot a rapids safely, that is some skill!

That was great ! Thanks for sharing

He was having a Henry VIII moment???

I got a lunch with your name on it if you would like.

Another thought has come to mind while reading this story......And yes it is having fun at our (your) expense. It references a golf to fishing analogy I like to make: They are both sports wear one can spend an inordinate amount of money on equipment and it still does not make us better at the sport. I cannot hit a ball farther or putt more accuratley with an expensive driver and putter than I can with a cheap Amity special set of clubs. So here is this young man, full of enthusiasm for the sport that we all enjoy, kicking your butt on the same water you fish with "sub-standard" equipment. GOOD for him! end friendly poke at ourselves...

Amazing how helping others can do you more good than them, eh? (I was gonna give smartass comment about "What only one good deed today???but thought better of it, ............or did I?????????

Well it looks like distance it is, now to plug a hole in the helm, and rearrange my layout....*sigh*

I have my Hummingbird within 6" of my am/fm radio antenna on the Ranger, last Saturday I noticed that the reception would work when the Fish Finder was off, but the radio would not pick up a signal (radio station)when it was on. I would like to avoid moving the antenna if I can, but I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how it was solved?

The trolling motor was the only electrical that has been trouble free, you did a GREAT job on that. Your dash work was screwed up by the fellow who rigged the motor,other wise it would have been fine.

Congrads! That is a great shot, I guess the photog got lucky, eh?

CAJUN BAPTIST..... Reverend Boudreaux was the part-time pastor of the local Cajun Baptist Church and Pastor Thibodaux was the minister of the Covenant Church across the road. They were both standing by the road, pounding a sign into the ground that read: 'Da End is Near Turn Yo Sef 'Roun Now Afore It Be Too Late!' As a car sped past them, the driver leaned out his window and yelled, 'You religious nuts!' From the curve they heard screeching tires, and a big splash... Boudreaux turns to Thib and asks 'Do ya tink maybe da sign should jussay.....'Bridge Out?'

had you posted this sooner, i could have come and helped.

Now that you have seen how the different brands are built, (putting you on the spot), which brand would you buy if you were to get a aluminum boat?

Put a for sale sign on it now while it still looks good.
