    That's got to be a fanny magnet shirley?

    The last thing a female astronaut needs is a fanny magnet - With those magnetic boots they use in zero gravity, she'd end up cross-legged stuck to the floor.

    Most of them aren't prepared to travel though.

    OLD JOKE ALERT:

    I always wanted to be shot into space. Apparently if my mum hadn't been pissed I would have been.

    I will look after your wife while you are away Astronaughting if you like.
