A five card stud thread on rgp included a wonderful story.

Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon and he said, " A short step for man, a giant leap for mankind." That was relayed to millions watching the event on tv. However, he also said, "Good luck, Mr Gorsky." Apparently, 20 odd years later he explained his remark. As a child he was playing baseball in his backyard and the ball was hit under the bedroom window of next door. Whilst retrieving the ball he overheard Mrs Gorsky saying to her husband that he would only get fellatio when the kid next door walked on the moon. He did and he remembered the remark. Wonderful story.

Is it true.

I think Mrs Gorsky has become a regular poster in the probabilty forum.

I heard the story told a few years ago by Doris Keearns Goodwin, noted presidential scholar and Red Sox fan, on during an interview she did on PBS.
