A Good Story.

I found a good story on the internet that made me laugh.  Therefore, I am going to write it here on my blog posting so all of you can hopefully get a chuckle out of it, too.  So, here it is:

Good Luck Mr. Dorsky
On July 20, 1969, as commander of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.  His first words after stepping on the moon, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," were televised to Earth and heard by millions.  But just before he re-entered 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 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.  On July 5, 1995, in Tampa Bay, Florida, 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 died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.

In 1938, when he was a kid in a small mid-west town, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard.  His friend hit a fly ball, which landed in his neighbor's yard by the bedroom windows.  His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky.  As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky.  "Sex!  You want sex?!  You'll get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon".

Now that is a true story.  Most of the time truth is stranger and funnier than fiction.  If any one would like to look this up on the internet, here is a link to it:

Now, I hope this put a grin on our face to start out a new day.
But just make sure that you have a great day, you hear?
