The Big Bar Mitzvah


They wanted it to be a very special occasion, one which would 
never be forgotten by the family.  A safari Bar Mitzvah was being
done too often, a neighbor's son had had his ceremony at the 
Wailing Wall, and the South Pole was just too cold.  So the father
of the boy arranged to rent the shuttle from NASA and take the 
Rabbi, family, and all their friends into space. 

The scientists had returned from MIR and it was not being used at
present. The shuttle docked with MIR. The excursion created a lot 
of world-wide attention, and when they returned all the press was
there to find out how it went.

The first person off the shuttle was the 80 year old grandmother,
and the reporters asked her, "How was the service?"

Grandma answered, "OK". 

"How was the boy's speech?" 

"OK." 

"How was the food?" 

"OK." 

"Everything was just OK? You don't seem to have liked it?  What 
seemed to be wrong?"

"To tell the truth there was no atmosphere!"
