But Officer, I couldn't have been doing more than 25,000 mph

I'm sure by now, everyone's heard about NASA's drunken astronauts. I'm amused that the best an brightest pilots and scientists that the federal government can find need an explicit clarification that, yes, the 12-hour rule about drinking before flying does indeed apply to space flight as well. Oh, well, these are top gun style test pilots after all. And, as one caller mentioned on the radio, "I'd need a few drinks in me too before you got me into a rocket built by the lowest bidder."
