'Capt. Kirk' scared of space travel: William Shatner confesses his fears

By Peter Rakobowchuk, The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – 19 hours ago


MONTREAL - Even though more than a dozen Canadians have already signed up for commercial space flights, the country's most famous astronaut has no intention of joining them.

That's because the man who rose to fame playing Capt. James T. Kirk is, as it turns out, not crazy about the idea of visiting space.

William Shatner, the Star Trek protagonist, explained Thursday why he has no intention to boldly go anywhere beyond the Earth's atmosphere.

"I'm scared," the 80-year-old told a news conference, after he was given an honorary doctorate of Letters at his alma mater, Montreal's McGill University.

Shatner publicly expressed reticence years ago when asked whether he might ever take advantage of new opportunities in space travel. He went further Thursday, explaining at a news conference why it won't happen.

Virgin Galactic, one of billionaire Richard Branson's many companies, has already booked more than 300 suborbital flights.

The company hopes to complete its test phase and begin launching flights next year. Its plan for suborbital flights means its ships would go up into space, without completing an orbit of the Earth.

Fourteen of the passengers signed up to fly are Canadians.

Shatner says Branson offered him a spot — which would have cost US$200,000.

"I said, 'Well, that's not much, (but) how much do you guarantee to come back?' And he didn't have a price on that," Shatner quipped.

"He (Branson) wanted me to go up and pay for it and I said: 'Hey, you pay me and I'll go up. I'll risk my life for a large sum of money.' ... But he didn't pick me up on my offer."

It was widely reported in September 2006 that the Star Trek legend was offered a ticket by Branson aboard Virgin Galactic's first passenger flight — which was originally planned for 2008.

At the time, Shatner said he was worried about getting sick.

"I'm interested in man's march into the unknown but to vomit in space is not my idea of a good time. Neither is a fiery crash with the vomit hovering over me," he said at the time.

Now that is funny.  I like that he mentioned he would think about it if he was paid to go.  That man knows he has a price and is honest about it. ;-)

Siamese twins walk into a bar in Canada and park themselves on a bar stool..

One of them says to the bartender, "Don't mind us; we're joined at the hip.
I'm John,  he's Jim. Two Molson Canadian beers, draft please."

The bartender, feeling slightly awkward, tries to make polite conversation while
pouring the beers.  "Been on holiday yet, lads?"

"Off to  England next month," says John. "We go to England every year, rent a
car and drive for miles.    Don't we, Jim ?" Jim agrees.

"Ah,  England!" says the bartender. "Wonderful country... the history, the beer, the culture..."

"Nah, we don't like that British crap,"  says John. "Hamburgers and Molson's beer,
that's us, eh Jim ?  And we  can't stand the English - they're so arrogant and rude."

"So why keep going to England ?" asks the  bartender.

"It's the only chance Jim gets to  drive."

Catholic Parrots

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, 'Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know to say one thing'

'What do they say?' the priest asked.

They say, 'Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?'

'That's obscene!' the priest exclaimed,

Then he thought for a moment.....

'You know,' he said, 'I may have a solution to your problem. I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible...

Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we'll put them in the cage with Francis and Peter.

My parrots can teach your parrots to pray and worship,
And your parrots are sure to stop saying... That phrase... In no time.'

'Thank you,' the woman responded, 'this may very well be the solution.'

The next day, She brought her female parrots to the priest's house.... As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage holding rosary beads and praying...

Impressed, She walked over and placed her parrots in with them...

After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison:  'Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?'

There was stunned silence...

One male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and says,

'Put the beads away, Frank, our prayers have been answered!'

As it's no longer politically correct to direct a joke at any racial or ethnic minority, try this one:

An Englishman, a Scotsman, an Irishman, a Welshman, a Gurkha, a Latvian, a Turk, an Aussie, a German, a Yank, an Egyptian, a Japanese, a Mexican, a Spaniard, a Russian, a Pole, a Lithuanian, a Jordanian, a Kiwi, a Swede, a Finn, an Israeli, a Romanian, a Bulgarian, a Serb, a Swiss, a Greek, a Singaporean, an Italian, a Norwegian, an Argentinean, a Libyan, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist and an African went to a night club.

The bouncer said, "Sorry, I can’t let you in without a Thai."
