'That's one small step for Russia and one giant weep for John Boehner!'
Constipated after eating all the spinach?
"Every time i even THINK of the moon, i cry."
It's okay, I have a bottle or two in my office.
This would have been sooo much better had I not just seen him sneeze into that hand.....
I will let you hold my medal if it will make you feel better.
And that's how we made the moon landing look so real!
Hmmm... I don't think we ever tested free-floating tears in space. Maybe we should send this guy up; he's not getting much done down here.
Joohhhnnn...where's the medal? C'mon...hand it over.
Would you like the Pope or the President to give you a little kiss?
Smile or I'll kiss you
Just hours after his Lasik surgey, Neil Armstrong has a critical error in judgement and goes in far too low and his handshake with John Boehner turns into a knucleball.
A teary Boehner advises Mr. Armstrong that his latest one small step and one giant leap just landed on his big toe.
Based on the smell of that cigarette smoke, I can tell you don't need a NASA rocket to be high any more.
I smell a Democrat
Mr. Armstong: You would have never made it, as, an Astronaut!
I get so emotional when other people get presents and I don't.
Okay,
Who had liver & onions for lunch?
Neil..You can tell me... was the video we seen here on earth was for real??? Or was Spielberg involved??
Now John, we talked about this. You can't go to the moon until you clean up The House!
Waaah..... You're the 3rd person today that didn't compliment me on my gorgeous tan!
I went to the moon and all I got was this stupid medal.
"It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to..."
Now John, I know you took that Moon Rock!
Now John, I know its hard to accept, but you are actually expected to earn your keep, even as Speaker fof the House.
Armstrong: "Now, let go of it, John and be a big boy. You'll have to do something miraculous to get your own."
Everybody *sniff sniff* keeps picking *sniff sniff* on me.
Neil Armstrong to Speaker Boehner:
C'mon John, this is MY moment ... I should be the one crying!!
"Don't cry John, of course I waved at you from the moon!"
Take it easy Mr Speaker...Regis didn't retire...hes just moving on.
I was hoping they'd have someone a little more, well, important to award me this meddle. I don't even know who the hell you are! And stop crying like a little girl, they're taking pictures!
Oh come now Mr. Boehner, the kiss wasn't that bad.
Someone is not sharing their toys!
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
Just between you and me John, I never walked on the moon. Infact, there is no moon, it's a Hollywood prop.
"Well you know John, the earth is made up of types of gases."
Buzz and Mike looked just like that when I fired my boosters.
Now John...suck it up, you can do it, and thanks.
You really need 2 git it together whiney woo!!
You know, Mr Speaker, someday your face will stay like that.... trust me!
I am missing out on the free appetizers at The Top of the Hill bar.
Former astronaut Neil Armstrong replaces Speaker Boehner's guacamole with wasabi during ceremony.
Who's cutting the cheese Mr Speaker?
"No, John, the moon is *not* made of green cheese."
Cry baby!!!!!
"He who smelled it, dealt it"
Now now, I didn't spank you that hard.
