Enjoy.
It seems when Apollo Mission Astronaut, Neil Armstrong first walked on
the
moon, he not only gave his famous "One small step for man, one giant leap
for mankind" statement, but followed it by several remarks--usual com
traffic between him, the other astronauts, and Mission Control.
Before he reentered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark, "Good luck,
Mr. Gorsky."
Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival
Soviet Cosmonaut, however, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either
the Russian nor American space programs.
Over the years many people have questioned him as to what the "Good luck,
Mr. Gorsky" statement meant.
A few months ago, (5 Jul 95, Tampa Bay FL) while answering questions
following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to
Armstrong. He finally responded.
It seems that Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he
could answer the question.
When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with his brother in the
backyard. His brother hit a fly ball which landed in front of his
neighbors bedroom window. His neighbors were Mr and Mrs. Gorksy.
As he leaned down to pick it up, he heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr.
Gorsky. "Oral sex! Oral sex you want!? You'll get oral sex when the
kid next door walks on the moon!"
