In light of the bad news that NASA has been enduring over the past couple of weeks, I think that one man and one man alone can save the program. The man whose support for the space program garnered him an honorary place amongst the astronauts of the Mercury program: Jose Jimenez!
We've heard that NASA allowed some astronauts to fly while intoxicated. What the media forgets is that, as Jose pointed out so many years ago, the blast-off is the most important thing in space travel! The astronauts always take a blast before they take off! Otherwise they wouldn't get in that thing!
For those of you too young to remember Jose (poor deprived souls that you are), here is his famous interview. Click here for audio.
TOPICS: News/Current Events; Political Humor/Cartoons
KEYWORDS: astronauts; drunk; jimenez; nasa
This is one of my favorite comedy routines of all time. Bill Dana's Jose Jimenez character was always hilarious. Jose was beloved at NASA, in the Hispanic community and just about everywhere else. For those of you who are new to Jose, welcome! NASA and America, now more than ever, needs men like Jose Jimenez!

I loved his astronaut routine!
My favorite line from it: Yuri Gagarin cried "I am eagle, I am eagle!"
Jose Jimenez cried "I am chicken, I am chicken!"

I think my favorite line from this routine is when the interviewer asks him what he'll do during the long trip to Mars and he responds
"Well, I plan to cry a lot!" Classic!

Bill Dana would be about 83. I thought he and Jonathan Winters were great when I was a kid.

The link above is to just that routine. Many of his routines are available on I-Tunes, though. I’ve downloaded several.

I looked him up after I posted this. The website I found said he is 82 and he is still doing gigs! Good to here.
