Good friend of the family was an engineer for NASA and invented the first ‘toilet for space’. He passed away a few years ago.

Let’s get to the really important stuff — How would a transsexual go to the bathroom on the space station?

Since the restroom involves going into suction hoses I think it’s the same regardless of how you use the toilet on Earth.

The Space Station is traveling roughly 5 miles per second. I’d hate to get smacked in the face with that stuff.

How would a transsexual go to the bathroom on the space station?

1. Sue
2. Hire publicist
3. Do MSNBC, CNN, BBC, ABC, CBS
3. Revise agency and book deal agreements
4. Leverage contract opportunities - circle back to first offers
5. TV spot in test markets
6. Clinton event
7. White House dinner - wait for official photos
8. Oprah
9. 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6... Book Launch!

Wouldn't it be easier to go to the bathroom in the space station? Why go outside of it to pee on it?

;)

I think she’s sexy. But I’m just a lonely old man.
