Why did they have to wash the Apollo astronaut's potty mouths after they returned to Earth?

Well, after Alan Shepard told Mission Control, "Beep, Beep, my @$$!" in response to Cernan's prank, his mother insisted on washing his mouth out with soup. |

Be...cause they misinterpreted the order to stow urine to avoid navigation errors... maybe?

Old family recipe, very fatty, with lye added for extra sharpness, then boiled for a few hours. Most people tend to substitute the third letter with the first vowel instead of the fifth.  |

Why did they have to wash the Apollo astronaut's potty mouths after they returned to Earth? Brings something fun to mind; what sort of potty mouths did they have on missions? Only one I've seen is from Apollo 10, when the ascent stage did a tumble not long after seperation. |

Brings something fun to mind; what sort of potty mouths did they have on missions? The Apollo 12 Flight Journal contains a lot of profanity in the onboard tape transcriptions. But they watched their language when Houston could hear them I think. www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/ap12fj/index.htmAnd on Apollo 17 at 123:02:29, Gene Cernan said a bad word ("sub-vocally") when he dropped his antenna. |
