Gift
Matthew has a friend who works at NASA. His friend Kent is on the team that is launching a manned mission to Mars next week.
On the day of the launch with the help of Kent he is able to sneak his girlfriend Kim aboard the ship.
A few hours after the launch, Kim wakes up. She is wearing a spacesuit with a note posted on her chest.
She reads the note. "I know you really want to go to Mars. Love, Matthew."
Kim screams, “You idiot, I said I want to go to the bars, get your hearing checked!”
