	KSC(Knock Space Center) SPACE SHUTTLE REPORT -THURSDAY, NOV. 24, 1988

		SOS-27 - SPUDNIK (0V 104)   -   COWPAD 39-B

		The hops storage tanks for the orbital brewing system were 
	pressurized for flight yesterday. It is hoped to have the Guinness on
	draught in time for lunch.

		The cowpad will be cleared of all non-essential farm animals
	for a practice lunch tomorrow. Explosive charges will be installed
	in various parts of the shuttle vehicle by Libyan fundamentalists and
	all demands will be checked out.

		Tomorrow, the turf reactant storage and the outside loo will be
	purged. These fuel cell storage tanks will be loaded with liquid turf
	and whisky before take-off. 

		The vehicle is scheduled to be powered down, Wednesday midnight
	for Benjy's birthday party in order to prevent accidental lunch.

		Lunch is scheduled for pub closing time, Saturday night by 
	which time the astronauts hope to have their fuel cells fully tanked 
	up.

>Knock Space Center....

This was funny.

Another gross generalization from

  resident cynic at the Rock of Ages Home for Retired Hackers:
  "Mailers?! HA!", "If my mail does not reach you, please accept my apology."

  "Send mail, avoid follow-ups.  If enough, I'll summarize."
Added note: I have too much work to continue reading space.shuttle
so I've got to 'u' it.  [For those on BITNET or who get mail, ask the
USENET people what this means].  Keep Peter in line, no internal
secrets and all that stuff, okay? 8)
