Neil Armstrong infamous line was concocted by sweating Nixon or Nixon and his brain trust, (I thought everyone knew that?) and to this cat represents the beginning of an era when we started interpreting staged events,theater, as what's significant and important: press conferences, speeches, all of them no different than fashion shows. There was nothing spontaneous about this line and it sounds like something an accounting clerk might come up with (with apologies to all accounting clerks with imagination.) What would any one of us say in such situation? What would Neil Armstrong say if he didn't have a script prepared by all the Ehrilchmans and Haldemans and John Deans to memorize? Me, I'd say:
Good Golly Miss Molly,
She sure likes to ball!
