I was sittin in a bar last night and someone told me this story I'd never heard before so I figured i'd pass it along as a means for inspiration
When Apollo Mission astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he is noted for uttering the famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement. As the moonwalk progressed, Armstrong's radio crackled with the usual com traffic between the astronauts and Mission Control, and just before he re-entered the moon lander, Neil Armstrong made the enigmatic remark, "Good luck, Mr. Grosky".
Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning a rival Soviet cosmonaut. Further checks revealed, however, that there was no "Grosky" in either the Soviet or American space programs.
Over the years, people have questioned the famed moonwalker about his cryptic remark, but Armstrong would merely smile in response -- and steadfastly remain silent.
On July 5, 1995, a reporter brought up the 26 year old mystery again, and this time, Armstrong responded. He explained later that Mr. Grosky had finally passed away, and now the story could be told.
When he was a kid, Neil Armstrong was playing baseball with a friend in his back yard. His friend hit a fly ball which landed outside his neighbor's window. His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Grosky. As he went to retrieve the baseball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Grosky screaming at her husband: "Oral sex? You want ORAL SEX??!! You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"
