The Impossible Dream

When I was growing up, I had three dreams. In no particular order, they were:

1. Become an astronaut
2. Meet the President of the United States
3. Win an eBay auction and drive aimlessly around the country in a school bus with a total lunatic

Over the years, as I grew older and wiser, I gave up on those dreams. Short of a miracle or an act of God, they just seemed impossible. I never thought I would ever have the opportunity to fulfill any of them.

Ladies and gentlemen, I can tell you today that I was wrong.

The dream lives.

(I wonder where he got his tin-foil hat.)

  1. I'm almost afraid to ask this, but did you have a particular a) President or b) lunatic in mind at the time, or was it more on principle?

  2. The President was Richard Nixon, he's the bestest.

    The lunatic was more of a principle thing. Are you volunteering?
