Motorist: "Hi?..."

OnStar Operator: "Hello, ma'am. This is OnStar, how may I help you?"

M: "I got my land rover stuck."

OO: "Where are you?"

M: "Well, I'm uh, let me ask...[pause]...Mars. Yes, Mars."

OO: "Is that Mars, Pennsylvania, ma'am?"

M: "Let me check...[pause]...I don't think so. I think it's THE Mars."

OO: "The planet?"

M: "Yes, yes, the planet."

OO: "Well, I'm sorry to hear that, I'm going to send out a towtruck right away. Is there a number I can reach you?"

M: "Oh, thank you, my baby is crying and my dog has that hungry look in her eyes. My number is 215-57..."

[fade]

No matter where you are, our OnStar operators are available 24 hours a day, even if your planet doesn't have that many."

[fade in]

OO: "And the towing company says they'll be there in a few months."

M: "Oh, thank you so much."

OO: "You're welcome and you be sure to feed that dog before he eats your child."

M: "Oh, I will! [laughs] Thank you OnStar!"

He just had too many days in which he wasn't himself.

"The Mars Rover should have used a 5-iron instead of a fairway wood and then it wouldn't have had that problem in the first place."

I was thinking we send Tiger Woods to space camp, blow thirty million there. Then after he is all trained up, shoot him towards Mars in a four-hundred million dollar ship. Let him take a crack at the little squirt with a sand wedge.

Man, that was a long way to go for a golf club joke. But seriously; when is NASA going to be exposed for the fraud, money pit, waste and abuse institute that they are?

A fun fact: The first men to land on the moon smuggled a golf club and some balls. They even drove around on the surface of the moon in a little cart that looked a lot like a golf cart. Only a man would go to the moon in the search for a birdie hole.
