"In reality, no such interview ever took place nor did Cosgrove ever make such a remark. 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). However, NPR has denied that any such interview was ever broadcast and there are no records of a General Reinwald serving in the US armed forces. "General Reinwald" is nothing more than a fictional character invented to give an American orientation to an even older version of the story."
I mean, it's cute and all as a joke, but really? hardly "TopCultured"
