There are lots of virgins in paradise so why shouldn't there be any in space?

Maypole dancing has all but ceased due to the lack of virgins, so space exploration could be a solution.

Talking about Concorde. I worked with a chap (Sid) who's son worked for British Airways. Free travel was available to family members, so Sid and his wife used to take advantage of this, but they had to travel on stand-by - ie, only if there was a seat available. One trip took them to Los Angeles and on returning to the BA desk at LAX they were told that there were no seats on any return flights to LHR. They hung around until eventually the BA man said 'I can get you to New York, but then you are on your own'. New York was half way to London so they took up his offer.

At JFK they reported to the BA desk, only to be told that there were no seats on London flights. However, they might have something, if they would check a little later in the day. When they did they were told that there was a flight going to London. It was Concorde. The aircraft had had an engine failure and been marooned at JFK for a few days until a spare engine had been flown out. The aircraft was now going to return empty to LHR. Handfuls of peanuts, snacks and drinks were quickly snatched from a BA 747 Jumbo and off they went - the only passengers. They got the royal treatment and all the souvenir goodies as well. How's that for an experience.
