good luck Mr. Gorsky

It seems when Apollo Mission Astronaut, Neil Armstrong first walked
on the moon, he not only gave his famous "One small step for man,
one giant leap for mankind" statement, but followed it by several
remarks--usual com traffic between him, the other astronauts, and
Mission Control.

Before he reentered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark, 
"Good luck, Mr. Gorsky."

Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some
rival Soviet Cosmonaut, however, upon checking, there was no Gorsky
in either the Russian nor American space programs.

Over the years many people have questioned him as to what the "Good
luck, Mr. Gorsky" statement meant.

A few months ago, (5 Jul 95, Tampa Bay FL) while answering questions
following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question
to Armstrong.  He finally responded.

It seems that Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt
he could answer the question.

When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with his brother in the
backyard.  His brother hit a fly ball which landed in front of his
neighbors bedroom window.  His neighbors were Mr and Mrs. Gorksy.

As he leaned down to pick it up, he heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at
Mr. Gorsky.  "Oral sex!  Oral sex you want!?  You'll get oral sex
when the kid next door walks on the moon!"
