America, Russia and Japan are sending up a two year shuttle
mission with one astronaut from each country. Since it's going
to be two years up there, each may take any form of entertainment
weighing 150 pound or less.
The American approaches the NASA board and asks to take his
125 lb wife. They approve.
The Japanese astronaut says, "I've always wanted to learn Greek.
I want 150 lbs of books to learn Greek with." The NASA
board approves.
The Russian astronaut thinks for a second and says, "It's gonna
be two years up there. I want 150 pounds of the best Cuban
cigars ever made." Again, NASA okays it.
Two years later, the shuttle lands and everyone is gathered
outside the shuttle to see what each astronaut got out of his
personal entertainment. Well, it's obvious what the American's
been up to, He and his wife are each holding and infant. The
crowd cheers.
The Japanese astronaut steps out and makes a 10 minute speech
in absolutely perfect Greek. The crowd doesn't understand a word of
it, but they're impressed and they cheer. The
Russian astronaut stomps out, clenches the podium until his
knuckles turn white, glares at the first row waving a chewed up
cigar at them and says:
"Anybody got a match?!"
