How little self control must a person have to go on a fucking Space Mission and keep drinking right up until launch?
I have in my past been guilty of drinking long past the cut-off point that would assure my sobriety behind the wheel, but jesus christ, even as the idiot I was, I would have known to cut myself off in time to sober up before I flew a fucking ROCKET into fucking SPACE.
This puts the story about the astronaut that drove 900 miles in a diaper in a little more understandable light.
Well, given they don't actually fly the thing, I think getting pissed before strapping myself into a rocket full of highly combustible fuel and launching myself into orbit, something with a fairly high risk of death, is an entirely rational thing to do.
"your booful you are. lovely. Is an astronaut right. No really I so is an astronaut. Do you want to come into space? I cansh get yous on the rocket if you wants. Yous booful."
Read this on the tube today in one of these inescapable free newspapers. A) Probably not true. B) Who gives a fuck? What's the worst that could happen? A massive meteor of frozen booze puke slamming into Big Ben? C) It WAS you, wasn't it?
