GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU SMILE

ARMSTRONG'S SECRET,
GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU SMILE

In case you didn't already know this little tidbit of trivia,it might make you chuckle when you read it.
ON JULY 20, 1969,


AS COMMANDER OF THE APOLLO 11 LUNAR MODULE,
NEIL ARMSTRONG
WAS THE FIRST 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
THOUGH 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, SO
NEIL ARMSTRONG FELT HE COULD NOW ANSWER THE
QUESTION.

IN 1938, WHEN HE WAS A KID IN A SMALL MID-WESTERN
TOWN,
HE WAS PLAYING BASEBALL WITH A FRIEND IN THE BACKYARD. HIS FRIEND HIT THE BALL WHICH LANDED IN HIS NEIGHBOR'S YARD BY THEIR BEDROOM WINDOW.
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!"



TRUE STORY.
