#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 are due
again---enjoy paying them!!
#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 has 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 Shalt
Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and
politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.
