Travelling Contradictions!!!

As I was running into work this morning I couldn't help but think about what a contradiction I am, and always have been. In high school, I rode bulls, and was on the swim team and cross country team. Not exactly the most complimentary sports, but I didn't care! I had fund doing all of it.

This morning, I was wearing a cuban cigar t-shirt, while wearing my Ironman visor. To wit, it was interesting that I bought the t-shirt in the Mexican Riviera, the visor in Kona (of course) and my shorts I bought in London (manchester united, for all you soccer fans).

And this has absolutely nothing to do with training for an ironman, but being a prior marine, and being extremely funny, I had to pass this along:

Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and 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 National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL REINWALD: 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 REINWALD: 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 REINWALD: 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.
