Get your moon rocks here!

       I was thinking this would be about putting a load of trinkets in a capsule, sending it to orbit the Moon, then bringing it back and selling them at a premium because they'd "been to the Moon and back".

       // bringing it back and selling them at a premium //   

       Hmmmm.   

       <snigger>   

       Moon rock's no problem - how much do you want ? Minimum order would be ... let's see ... <furious calculations> ... about eight tonnes ? Extra charge if you want it in 20kg bags.   

       Why do you want it by the way ? It's really, really dull stuff ...

       Sort of shades of the 'moon' diamonds in the Man who sold the Moon...

       I went to the moon, and all I got was this lousy scree & dirt.

       ...and a packet of gravel.

       That's nothing. I went to a plantation in India, and all I got was this lousy tea shirt.   

       Still, can't grumble. Sturton went all the way to Vientiane, and all he got was this Laos city shirt.

       I went looking for fossils in hard, dark, opaque rock composed of silica (chalcedony) with an amorphous or microscopically fine-grained texture, occuring as nodules (flint) or, less often, in massive beds.   

       All I got was this chert.

       You're lucky. My parents went to the International Dyslexia Conference and I all I got was this lousy S-thirt.

       Quit whining- we went all the way to Dublin to abduct the President the Republic of Ireland, but all we got is this lousy Taoiseach ...
