(1) Zero Gravity
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered
that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this
problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen
that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface
including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over
300 C.
The Russians used a pencil.
Your taxes hard at work
(2) Our Constitution
"They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for
Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of
really smart guys, and it's worked for over 200 years. And, we're not
using it anymore."
(3) Ten Commandments
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse
is that you cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit
Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges
and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.
