A drummer is browsing around a musical instruments shop. When the owner asks if he can help him,the drummer replies:
"I'm tired of the band giving me crap because they say I don't play a real instrument. I'll show them I can. I want to buy that tuba and the accordion over there."
The owner thinks for a moment and says,"Well, I can sell you the fire extinguisher,but the radiator comes with the building."

So, The Man on the Moon has gone... RIP.
Here's a lovely story about him:
When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only said his famous "One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for Mankind" statement, but followed it by several remarks - usual communication traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control. 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 nor American space programs. Over the years, many people have questioned him as to what the "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" statement meant.
On July 5, in 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 Armstrong felt he could answer the question: "When I was a kid, I was playing baseball with my brother in the backyard. He had hit a fly ball which landed in front of my neighbors' bedroom window. The neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky. As I leaned down to pick up the ball, I 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!"

A great joke, but if it's at the expense of a certain individual, well, that's why I published the link. I like the joke and certainly the moonwalk fulfills the promise of the joke, but then associating it with the person doing the walk erroneously it turns out, does need the disclaimer.
Sic transit gloria mundi.
