Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky!
By David Emery, About.com Guide

<<When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave 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. Just before he re-entered the lander, however, he made this 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 FL, 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 finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.

When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball, which landed in the front of his neighbor's bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky.

As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs.Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky.

Wow, neufer, at least supply the rest to make clear this is an urban legend; some people might actually believe that old tired story! From the same link you cite:
This whopper has been circulating for years via forwarded email and can be found on dozens of websites accompanied by the claim that it "really happened." But it didn't happen, as anyone can verify by perusing the official lunar landing transcript on NASA's Apollo 11 site (audio & video clips included).
It seems a bit disrespectful to sully Armstrong's service to the nation (and the world), considering his memorial service was just two days ago, with that bit of folklore.

I apologize in advance for the lame joke I'm going to tell, although it's slightly astronomical. (Someone's probably told it already, oh well.) But I just have to visit this thread to tell the rest of you folks here how much I've enjoyed your jokes! :D :lol2: :D :lol2: :D

And apparently no one is allowed to show up here unless s/he has a joke to tell, so here goes:

What would you say to a northern hemisphere person who goes out every winter night to look at stars?
It's Sirius.

Ann, i was pondering your situation with the anti-gravity book you're reading, but i had to stop. I was begining to feel rather light-headed.

I'm a rather thickheaded person and not naturally good at telling jokes. I admire and giggle at the wittiness of some of you people out there! You know who you are, but one of you lives in Beyonderland!

Well. Fortunately I have a brilliant English teacher colleague, Anna, who is marvellously good at English and full of funny jokes. She has told me a lot of jokes in English, and I'm going to post some of them here! Here goes the first one:

The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was...
Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.
That will have to do for today, but I might tell another of Anna's jokes tomorrow!
