Being Properly Equipped

A female newscaster is interviewing the leader of a youth club: Interviewer: „So, Mr. Jones, what are you going to do with these children on this adventure holiday?“

Mr. Jones: „We’re going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.“

Interviewer: „Shooting! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it?“

Mr. 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?“

Mr. 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 become violent killers.“

Mr. Jones: „Well, you’re equipped to be a prostitute but you’re not one, are you?“
