Once upon a time  Nasa  decided to send three astronauts to space for 2 years.

　　NASA allowed each of them to take 200 pounds of baggage each.

　　The first astronaut decided to take along his wife, the second decided to take along books to learn how to speak German, while the third astronaut decided to take along cigarettes.

　　Two years later, when the space  shuttle landed, there was a big crowd waiting to welcome them home.

　　First came the first astronaut and his wife and each of them had a baby in their arms.

　　Next, out came the second astronaut speaking fluent German.

　　They both gave their speeches and got a rousing applause.

　　Suddenly out came the third astronaut with a cigarette in his mouth.

　　He walked up to the podium  and snarled to the crowd and asked, 'Has anyone got a  match?'
