Regardless if it was taken out of context and thus began an urban legend; that's what he said--Take it or leave it.

Yes, I realized that. I just wanted to throw a twist into a joke that's at least 9 years old now. No argument intended. (I chuckled at Joe's joke, too.)

But since this is a forum for vintage rockets, I will acknowledge that it's as good a place as any for vintage jokes, too!

(The other great repository for hoary old jokes is late-night talk shows... )

So, why not? Who has a great joke to tell that's as old as the hills? (This line of discussion probably ought to move off to its own thread. And so it will.)
