Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky!

A true story...
When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the
moon, he not only gave his famous "One small step for man, one
giant leap for mankind" statement, but followed it by several
remarks, usual communication traffic between him, the other
astronauts and Mission Control. Just before he re-entered the
lander, however, he made the enigmatic remark:
"Good luck, Mr. Gorsky."
Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people have questioned him as to what the "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" statement meant.
On July 5th, 1995 in Tampa Bay, FL while answering
questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year
old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded.
Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could
answer the question.
When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the
backyard. His friend hit a fly ball which landed in the front of
his neighbor's bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky. "Oral sex! You want oral sex?! You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"
