I needed some cheering up today and good old Jeff did the job.

From his post today about reports that astronauts have been drunk for shuttle take offs:

Besides, think about it. They’re sitting on top of four million pounds of rocket fuel and liquid hydrogen in a flimsy aluminum glider built by the lowest bidder.

You wouldn’t get me within a mile and a half of the launch pad or “ground zero”, if you prefer without plying me with three shots of tequila and a line of coke first. No freakin’ way, man.

Thanks Jeff, I needed a chuckle today.
