First in Space

"First in Space"

A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were
talking one day. The Russian said, "We were
the first in space!"

The American said, "We were the first on the moon!"

The Blonde said, "So what? We are going to be
the first on the sun!"

The Russian and the American looked at each
other and shook their heads. "You cannot land
on the sun, you idiot! You will burn up!" said the Russian.

To which the Blonde replied, "We are not stupid,
you know. We are going at night!"

"One Way Ticket"

NASA was interviewing professionals to be sent
to Mars. Only one could go, but with one catch -
he could not return to Earth.

The first applicant, an engineer, was asked how
much he wanted to be paid for going. "One million
dollars," he answered, "because I want to donate it to M.I.T."

The next applicant, a doctor, was asked the same
question. He asked for two million. "I want to give
a million to my family," he explained, "and leave
the other million for the advancement of medical research."

The last applicant was a lawyer. When asked how
much money he wanted, he whispered in the
interviewer's ear, "Three million dollars."

"Why so much more than the others?" the interviewer asked.

The lawyer replied, "If you give me $3 million, I will
give you $1 million, I will keep $1 million, and we
will send the engineer."
