When the Americans were getting ready to send their first men to the moon, an ugly old man was watching them on television in the bar of a hotel.
There was a younger man in the bar too, and he said to the ugly man, 'The Americans are very clever, aren't they?' They're going to send some men to the moon. It's a very long way from our world.'
'Oh, that's nothing,' the ugly man answered quickly. 'Our group are going to send some men to the sun in a few months' time. That's much farther away than the moon, you know,'
The second man was very surprised when he heard this. 'Oh, yes, it is,' he said, 'but the sun's too hot for people to go to.'
The ugly man laughed and answered, 'Well, our group aren't stupid, you know. We won't go to the sun during the day, of course. We'll go there during the night.'
