“Space Mission Control: Monkey Business and a Clever Woman”

There is a Space Shuttle mission to the moon with two monkeys and a woman on board. The control centre in the US calls: “Monkey number 1, Monkey number 1 to the television screen.” He sits down and he is told to release the pressure in compartment 1, increase the temperature in engine 4, and release oxygen to the reactors. So the monkey adjusts the pressure, temperature, and releases the oxygen. A few moments later, the control centre calls again: “Monkey number 2, monkey number 2 to the television screen.” He sits down and he is told to add Carbon Dioxide to room 4, stop the fuel injection to engine 3, add nitrogen to the fuel compartment, and analyze the solar radiation. So the monkey adds the carbon dioxide, stops the fuel injection, adds nitrogen, and analyzes the solar radiation. A little later on, headquarters calls again: “Woman, please approach the screen.” She sits down and just as she is about to be told what to do she says… “I know, I know!! Feed the monkeys, don’t touch anything.”
