[Today's urban legend...]

It seems when Armstrong walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous
"One Step for Man", etc. [mis]statement, but followed it by several remarks.
It ended with "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky."  Over the years many people have
questioned him as to what the "Mr. Gorsky" statement meant.  Two weeks
ago, while answering questions following a speech, he finally responded.
It seems Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so he felt he could answer.

When he was a kid, he was playing ball.  His brother hit a fly which
landed in front of the Gorsky's bedroom window.  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!"
