Watch that space

SpaceX was preparing for a manned moon mission. Some of the astronaut training took place on a Navajo reservation. One day, a Navajo elder and his son came across the space crew. The old man, who spoke only Navajo, asked a question that his son translated: 'What are these guys in the big suits doing?'

A crew member said they were practising for their lunar trip. The old man got all excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon. Recognising a promotional opportunity, the SpaceX folks recorded the man's message on a phone recorder and then asked his son to translate it. He refused.

The PR people brought the recording to the reservation, where the rest of the tribe listened and laughed, but refused to translate the message.


Finally, SpaceX called in an official government translator. His translation of the old man's message was: 'Watch out for these guys; they have come to steal your land.'

My friend thinks he's smart. He told me an onion is the only food that makes you cry. So, I   threw a coconut at his face.
