Subject: FW: A TRUE STORY: NEIL ARMSTRONG'S SECRET

ON JULY 20, 1969, AS COMMANDER OF THE APOLLO 11 LUNAR MODULE, NEIL ARMSTRONG WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO SET FOOT ON THE MOON. HIS FIRST WORDS AFTER STEPPING ON THE MOON, "THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND," WERE TELEVISED TO EARTH AND HEARD BY MILLIONS. BUT JUST BEFORE HE RE-ENTERED THE LANDER, HE MADE THE ENIGMATIC REMARK, "GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY".

MANY PEOPLE AT NASA THOUGH IT WAS A CASUAL REMARK CONCERNING SOME RIVAL SOVIET COSMONAUT.

HOWEVER, UPON CHECKING, THERE WAS NO GORSKY IN EITHER THE RUSSIAN OR AMERICAN SPACE PROGRAMMES.

OVER THE YEARS MANY PEOPLE QUESTIONED ARMSTRONG AS TO WHAT THE 'GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY' STATEMENT MEANT, BUT ARMSTRONG ALWAYS JUST SMILED, AND SAID IT WAS A SECRET..!!!!

ON JULY 5, 1995, IN TAMPA BAY , FLORIDA WHILE ANSWERING QUESTIONS FOLLOWING A SPEECH, A REPORTER BROUGHT UP THE 26- YEAR-OLD QUESTION TO ARMSTRONG. THIS TIME HE FINALLY COULD RESPOND.

MR. GORSKY HAD PASSED AWAY AND LAID TO REST, SO NEIL ARMSTRONG FELT HE COULD NOW ANSWER THE QUESTION.

IN 1938, WHEN HE WAS A KID IN A SMALL MID-WESTERN TOWN , HE WAS PLAYING BASEBALL WITH A FRIEND IN THE BACKYARD. HIS FRIEND HIT THE BALL, WHICH LANDED IN HIS NEIGHBOUR'S YARD BY THEIR BEDROOM WINDOW.

HIS NEIGHBOURS WERE MR. AND MRS. GORSKY. AS HE LEANED DOWN TO PICK UP THE BALL, YOUNG ARMSTRONG HEARD MRS.GORSKY SHOUTING AT MR. GORSKY.

"SEX!
YOU WANT SEX?!
YOU'LL GET SEX WHEN .........
THE KID NEXT DOOR WALKS ON THE MOON!"

TRUE STORY!

One of those things you wish we're true. I showed the post to my dentist this morning to put him in a good mood before he started on me. He laughed and I had a painless extraction, so thank you.

I'll have to try that next time.
My dentist is a beast.

So let me get this straight ... you have dental work and THEN you hit the road on a long trek?

It's just been reported that actor Michael Clarke Duncan has died. 54. He suffered a heart attack 3 weeks ago and never recovered.

He was an extraordinary talent. His performance in "The Green Mile" left me spellbound.

It doesn't help. Yikes. I didn't realize it was painful afterwards. At least there's no danger of falling asleep.

Would have liked to have seen a lot more of him too.
