"Top 10 congressional croc jokes"
10) The U.S. Congress is so sad that the Obama administration has cut funding for NASA, that they have refused to raise the debt ceiling, unless it includes sending the President into a 5 year mission to boldly go where no
politician has gone before.
9) One day after Memorial Day, the Space Shuttle Endeavour was retired from service. Its astronauts would have been hailed as heroes, except for the fact that they landed it safely.
8) With just one NASA Space Shuttle flight left, the U.S. Congress is focused on its next mission to the stars: Begging Hollywood celebrities for political and financial support.
7) There's nothing like the end of the space shuttle program to make people realize just how vital NASA research is to our daily lives: velcro, microwave ovens, and multi-billion dollar launch parties.
6) Congressional accountants have said that President Obama's 2012 reelection campaign aims to raise $1 Billion, which is about half the cost of sending up one space shuttle.
5) In 2011, the U.S. Congress is to space research as a knife is to bread.
4) The American Congress is convinced that cheaper space programs are better for science and research, just as they are sure that cheaper products from China are better for the U.S. economy.
3) You could not have read this joke on the internet if not for the NASA space program that invented it, and that's why Congress is cutting the space agency's budget.
2) It's actually a good thing that NASA's funding for the Space Shuttle has expired, considering that Congress created that high-budget, low-tech, low-earth orbiter.
... and the #1 congressional croc joke is:
1) The day after the last NASA space shuttle lands, many Americans will be unemployed, and many more will be sad to see the end of an iconic era in history. Congress, on the other hand, will be happy to see a brilliant program end.
