URBAN LEGEND ?
This is a funny (and true) story about Neil Armstrong:
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. Just before he re-entered the
lander, however, 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 or American space programs.
Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck
Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.
Just a few years ago, (on July 5, 1995 in Tampa Bay FL) while answering
questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question
to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. 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 a friend in the backyard.
His friend hit a fly ball which landed in the front of his neighbour's
bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to
pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky.
"Oral sex! You want oral sex?! You'll get oral sex when the kid next door
walks on the moon!" | |
