I’d go live on the Moon, but I’m almost certain you can’t get pizza delivery there. If that problem is ever corrected, I’ll come on up. ---

Can I just hitch a ride there? I won’t bug you, I promise. I’ll make my way around to the dark side and won’t come back unless invited. I could really use the vacation and I don’t drink slurpees or throw things at people or anything. I don’t even need lakeside property. I just want a little place of my own to get away from it all, crank up the Pink Floyd and defy some gravity. I’ll go in on gas to get there. Think about it. I’m a great neighbor. ---

Hey, can I come? I don’t get in the way much, pack easily, and promist not to throw slurpees at you while you’re driving your moon rover. ---

I’ve got this spot on the Fra Munro highlands picked out. I’ve got wharehouse space, so I’ll be opening up a pizza joint. Who’s going to do the Direct TV service up here? ---

As Moon Commander, and owner of the Moon, I must inform you that you’ll have to go through the proper channels before moving to the moon. We could find you a good position. How about “Moon Shuttle Conductor”? ---

I don’t have to be a Moon Commander or anything? I can make a mean cappuccino, latte…jet fuel. I’ll even pack my Sumatra Mandheling for morning coffee.
