Pigs in Space
NASA is launching a rocket to the moon. On board are two pigs and Kiki, a stunning blonde.
When the rocket is outside the stratosphere, the first stage drops off. Contact is made: “Houston here, Pig 1, Pig 1, do you read us, over.”
“Oink, oink. Pig 1 here, Houston, read you loud and clear!”
“Pig 1, do you still know your instructions?”
“Yes, when we get to the moon, I press the red button to initiate the moon landing, over.”
“That’s right. Out.” They go on until the rocket separates its booster stage.
“Hello, Pig 2, Houston here, come in, please.”
“Oink, oink, Pig 2 here, read you loud and clear!”
“OK, Pig 2, do you remember your instructions?”
“Yes, when we’ve landed on the moon and are ready to leave, I press on the green button to initiate the launch program.”
“That’s right. Out.” An hour later, when the rocket has achieved the correct speed, the last stage drops off as planned. Ground control contacts the astronauts again.
“Houston here, Kiki, come in Kiki, do you read us?”
“Kiki here, reading you loud and clear!”
“Kiki, do you remeber your instructions?”
“Yes,” Kiki says, “I feed the two pigs and keep my hands off any buttons.”
