TOP TEN SPACE STATION MIR EXCUSES

Top Ten Space Station MIR Excuses

10. Cutting edge structure designed by sophisticated Russian engineering. Engine built by Ford.

9. Shuttle service provided by Delta.

8. Former Soviet Union fell apart at the seams, too.

7. Not upholstered in rich Corinthian leather.

6. Too much space, not enough station.

5. Cosmonauts jammed a paper clip into the sensitive satellite
communications array to get free HBO.

4. Nothing has worked the same since that Thunder Alley drag race against the NASA Space Shuttle.

3. Didn't build station to archaic metric specifications, used alien
hieroglyphics instead.

2. Switched fine coffee normally served in the galley with Folger's
Crystals.

And the number one space station MIR excuse...

1. Ran out of potato vodka.
