Rejected by Space
Probably because the coffee was free and because the Internet Lounge was very air conditioned, I drank a lot of it to keep warm. But I was also a little punchy, having been given some grave news.Above the coffee station a TV was playing, and one of the commercials featured this exact quote selling an eat-what-you-want diet program:
"If I wanted pre-packaged meals I would have chosen to be an astronaut.""Really? Do they have fat astronauts?" I asked aloud, and turned to see that much of the waiting room was a little overweight.
"Shut up shut up shut up," I said to myself.
