In reality, no such interview ever took place nor did Cosgrove ever make such a remark.

General Peter Cosgrove The story is an Australianized version of an earlier US based story that had a certain "General Reinwald" of the US Marines as the one delivering the killer line. The US version (example included below) claimed that General Reinwald made the remark during an interview with a female reporter broadcast on NPR (National Public Radio).

[samten54]

In general our generals have to be generally very intelligent with a generally good sense of humor. In general that's the case.

[missy0904]

HAHAHAHAHH that would be sooo funny to actaully have heard that on the radio, gosh that general guy is sure witty.

Good one, Frederick.

[Gigolo8]

HE really wants that GOvernor General Job!

[Raphaelus13]

[qiranger]

Oh, that is fucking brilliant!

[quotagirl]

I read that conversation in the newspaper, but you made it a lot more interesting!

:D

Thanks - 5 stars

[PerthPete1]

Hi. I have heard of this comeback previously. If I remember correctly, it was replayed in one the "that was the year that was" shows relating to highlights from 2007.

[BigmackZach]

ahhhhhahahah niice one fredrick epic wins.

-BigMAckZach

[abominableangel]

cant fault the generals logic there if you think about it lol wish i'd heard the real program lol would have been a coffee spitting momment i think ...class

[presidentIOC]

That was indeed the single most epic comeback in history!

[matthiasv2]

*gasping for air he is laughing so hard*

[alexcastellanosleon]

General Cosgrove I salute thee as well

[PauloRicardoSantos]

HHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!­!!

[aussielexi]

LMAO! i love him.

[NibOswald]

OHHHHHH!!! Thats is indeed up in the echelons of historic wit.

We did shooting in our high school cadet unit from Year 8 and turned out okay.

[Nutmikk]

hahaha xD

[scandalousjen]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm.  I like your hat.

[Zerobadniks]

Growing ya hair dude?

[NutCheese]

I am equipped to be a prostitute... and I am a damn good one!

[alexcastellanosleon]

lol

omgwtfbbq

[abominableangel]

nice one nut cheese .. nice lol

[Illuminatta]

Yes, great comeback...but sapperbloggs is right, in a way. This response was indeed credited to US Marine Corps General Reinwald, but NPR claims it never happened and there's no record of this General. There was a Welsh version even before that. In fact, various versions of this joke have been on the web for quite a few years now. Still...great video, as always. :)

[abominableangel]

thats funny as i went onto the abc radio website and this interview was repeated at 10.05 am on monday and then theres blogs on this subject dated within a few days of this original interview so joke ... i wouldnt be so sure!!

[Illuminatta]

But the point is, if you look around, the transcript has been floating around the web for years. So, if he DID say it, he was copying someone else, even if he was copying an urban legend. By the way, I LOVE your name! LOL

[abominableangel]

i wanted to see if i could hear the program but all i got was the transcript the forums were going nuts over this i guess ABC radio doesnt do the same as Radio 1 does here where i can listen to any program again a week after it was run .. see you get used to this media and when its not there you get disapointed ..glum .. thanks for the compliment are you really part of that famous secret organisation lol ... peace

[Illuminatta]

LOL...I just liked the original root meaning - enlighten. But I do like reading about that stuff...I think I was when I first registered on YT, so it was on my mind. :)

[Yakovich]

Frederick!!! Fancy being sucked in by a hoax email and and old one at that! Check out

snopes(dot)com/military/reinwa­ld.asp

How embarrassment...

[gilligan07734]

no need to say its an old story, seems you have been told already. although it is quite a good comeback. but let me ask you something, did they give these kids grape juice at this camp?

[buze]

weez cut your hair goddamit!

[jetjock64]

Here's to common sense thinking! Thanks for sharing.

[bwings]

Well er second, and you make a good point :D
