Silly Willie Ups a Dilly

The best 2021 perk
Was a space flight for Captain Kirk
An Enterprise
Where no one dies
Proving fantasy just might work

Hi there Rico ... if no one dies, what will we need guns for. Just watch the NRA break out in tears - thanks Rico - Lindsay

Very sharp socio-political commentary here. Bullseye. ~ gw

I thought you would be the first to mention that the shock felt by 90-year-old William Shatner in space is nothing compared to the shock he will feel when he adds the dollar value of his freebie to his 2021 income tax return . . . . ..

Very nice, Rico. And just think, Bezos got far more publicity for the flight because "Captain Kirk" was aboard. Bezos doesn't miss a trick!

My late wife loved wonky things and immediatly thought Bezos' "Prime" logo resembled a wonky circumsized phallus, or is it supposed to resemble a sneer? Whatever; Bezos got the last laugh!
