Les Jones: NASA's "Bottle to Throttle" Rule

Funny Ha-Ha > NASA's "Bottle to Throttle" Rule

By now you've heard about the drunk astronauts. They broke NASA's 12 hour "bottle to throttle" rule. Treacher is glad there isn't a 12 hour "grog to blog" rule. And I'm sure Stephen Green is, too.

That got me thinking about some other 12 hour rules.

Volkswagen mechanics should consider the 12 hour Sangria to Kharmen Ghia Rule.

Kentucky Moslems could have a 12 hour Bourbon to Turban Rule

When Andy Kaufman was on "Taxi" ABC might have imposed a 12 hour Vodka to Latka Rule.

Others? Post in comments.

'60s comedian Flip Wilson had a "toking to joking" rule. He once reported on the Tonight Show that he wrote his material high, but reviewed it straight before performing it.

My grandfather used to speak of the 12 minute Schlitz to Shits rule.

I refer to the 30-second interval between my first sip of coffee and my sprint to the toilet as "java to lava."

Sixty seconds from catnipping to catnapping.

(Perhaps I should have rethought that one...)

I personally observed this one in college.

0.5 Seconds from Whiskey to frisky for sorority girls.
