* There is a t-shirt that said "Million Mile High Club" and had a picture of [[Zero-G Spot|astronauts having sex]]. It should be pointed out that no man has travelled more than 300,000 miles "high", the distance to the Moon and no woman has left Low Earth Orbit (700 miles "high"), but "Three-Hundred-Thousand Mile High Club" just doesn't have the [[Alliteration|same ring]] to it.
