SPACE RELIC
cattlovrr
Hundreds of young astronauts are seeking gameful employment, and this
77-year-old self-promoting millionaire steals their jobs.
Glenn should take his bottle of Geritol and spend time at the local
church bingo parlor with blue-haired grandmas instead of cluttering up
the space shuttle Discovery with his old-man stink.
Just what kind of critical "scientific experiments" will Glenn help
with, anyway? "Bladder Control at Zero G's for Incontinent Old Farts"?
Glenn's last glory was back in the 60s, a decade filled with LSD-soaked
potheads who were easily thrilled by his brief tin-can spin around
earth.
Talk about Hamburger Helper! Glenn has "extended" this mediocre
contribution to our space race into a three decade long public relations
campaign. Hell, it even got him elected to the Senate where he
practicially did prison time for accepting illegal campaign
contributions from savings and loan charlatans.
What's next for America's most geriatric tax waster? John Glenn will be
soiling himself in an old folk's home within two years.

I believe the term is "gainful employment"

You know nothing about the '60's.

Pssst. I am almost *completely* certain this is a troll. The "astronauts
seeking gameful employment" clause seems to be a dead giveaway... <grin>

Yeah, he made it big allright. Unlike you and me. Be happy for him.

Do I hear a little envy here again? I guess you really wanted to go up
there, no?

No. He is going to investigate for companies like Holiday Inn wether it is
even feasible for old millionaires to spend their vacation (and fortune) in
space. :-))

Hey! those potheads put us on the moon! I don't see us doing that any time
soon again, now do you?!?

Yeah, but he will have a smile on his face!
