On Oral Sex and the Moonshot

The second man to set foot on the moon was called "Buzz." Neil Armstrong was first of course. But maybe they should have let Buzz Aldrin go first, both because he had a very cool name, and because Neil screwed things up a bit. Read More

I don't know about the Lipinski bit, but Neil Armstrong did not screw up his rehearsed line. The radio communication cut him off.

Oral Sex and the Moonshot

Rodney Dangerfield told this story on 'The Tonight Show' right after Pope John Paul II got elected:

Rodney: Well, I got to take my wife to Hawaii.
Johnny: Oh, you're a nice guy to take your wife to Hawaii, what' the occasion.
Rodney: She kept on pestering me to go to Hawaii I finally told her we'd go when the Pope's Polish.

I heard a very different version and it should be possible to track it down. Armstrong stated the words correctly. But the audio transcription left out the crucial "A." So now Armstrong has gone down in history as someone who made an ungrammatical statement. But
I also heard that he was under pressure to made a theological statement attesting to the glory of God and Jesus our Saviour. He resisted that! So things could have been worse. As for the neighbors, I think Snopes is correct -- that is sheer urban legend but it does make a good story.

The way I heard it is somewhat different. Armstrong was under pressure from another astronaut (not Aldrin) to make a statement about God our Father and Jesus our Saviour. Instead, he came up with a non-sectarian statement and DID put in the "A." However, the audio was poor and the "A" got lost, putting him in the history books as an illiterate bungler. So he did his best on both counts. Check it out!

Haha, reminds me of this

Haha, reminds me of this thing my father said once. He was trying to read the word organism, but he ended up pronouncing it "orgasm" instead - classic.female ejaculation guide
