In case you missed it, because I did. Last week, in honor of the anniversary of the moon landing, Buzz Aldrin released a pretty amusing and interesting document.
It was his travel voucher submission for his trip from Houston, to the moon, and back again. (You’d think the voucher would be much higher.)
Also, Bill Burr did a podcast where he discusses the famous Buzz Aldrin youtube video where he slugs a jerk who keeps hectoring about “never going to the moon.”
It has some salty language, but it’s worth it because Bill Burr would be funny reading the phone book.
Also, the title of my post was inspired stolen from by Brian Regan, another amazingly funny comedian. It’s worth a listen.
TRAVEL VOUCHERS THROUGHOUT HISTORY
Oswald, L H.
November 1963
Bus fare, Oak Cliffs to Downtown–$0.10.
“I shot President Kennedy.”
Oh, I could do this shit ALL day.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Having to fill out many a military travel voucher myself, this is HILARIOUS!
It ain’t no crime hittin’ a surley Pillsbury Doughboy. I hope Buzz broke his jaw. The punch looked sound enough The doughboy was solid on his feet. I hope Buzz didn’t hurt his wrist. Anyone know the outcome?
The rate today is about .26 cents a mile. Buzz got screwed. $33.31
WTF!
LOL @ Bill Burr.
Oh wow, military forms. Always in triplicate. Good times… lol
I’ll bet his friends and family are tired of his stories.
I wish I was half the man Buzz Aldrin is.
Don’t forget “Iron” Mike Collins had equally large coconuts-he stayed up in the capsule circling the moon, alone, while his buds landed. Imagine going around the dark side, wow. Pitch black, no comm, no sound, all alone. He was the most alone any human being had ever been.
The stars must have been incredible.
MM, the most alone person in history is the one manning the booth at a Compton job fair.
For Michael Collins, Jeffery and Me
Man, my 11 year old self was sure I would live on the moon someday.
The old man in me wishes it were true. 1/6 gravity, means papa can rumba again
Good one Loco
Brian Williams was quick to comment on the occasion by referencing his experience traveling to the moon.
I’m not an astronaut but I play one on the internet and I didn’t get paid anything for my trip to the moon!
That was the most satisfying punch I’ve ever seen.
You go, Buzz.
@greetingsfromyonkers: Don’t forget the reimbursement for supplies expense form:
3 – 6.5×52mm Carcano rifle cartridges @ $ .25 ea. $ 0.75
😉
“Some day Alice, POW. To the moon!!!”
I remember at the time I was an active duty Air Force officer. Some of us were discussing what it would be like to file a travel voucher for that. The discussion got to the fact that it wouldn’t be much.
Government provided lodging
Government provided food
Government provided air transportation.
The perdeim rate drops considerably when lodging and food are provided.
When I was 22 and saw man land on the moon, I was SURE we would be on Mars by the millennium……………NO…..The “government” led mostly by democrats created a welfare state and spent trillions creating generations of deadbeats………..hell, we’ll never walk on the moon again………
Just to be clear, the voucher is for travel from Houston to Cape Canaveral and back to Houston again – not for to the Moon and back.
That 81-year-old Buzz Aldrin punch is really something to see. He wasted that faggot. Took him off his feet. lol
Love that clip.
Dadof4, it says “MOON” right under Cape Kennedy, Fla.
That is my very favorite Brian Regan riff. He’s perfected the act of fake eating and “Oh, wait, we’re the only ones on the moon!” line. Perfect.
Trump will have us all walking on two legs again, instead of slinking around like guilty dogs.
