Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster
It was a terrible disaster. I was like 13 years old, sitting in school, watching the coverage.
Christa McAuliffe was a teacher, if you remember. This added a special note of sorrow to the disaster as we watched from the class rooms. It set the entire space program back several decades.
I am not belittling the sacrifices of the astronauts, their families and the engineers and other participants in the program. I need to lighten every matter with humor. The more base, sick or perverted the humor the better.
Columbia will have similar jokes when I think I can poste them without getting flamed in email or beaten on the streets. I have not posted any new humor since George W took office. I guess I am not as easily amused these days.
