I was on the castle walls in Cartagena's old town when I suffered an Apollo 13, shit ran down my leg and I had to dry my shorts in the breeze until they were dry enough for me to get a taxi back to the apartment

Less then one year after man first walked on the moon Apollo 13 was simply a "routine" flight until a faulty thermostat caused an oxygen canister to explode, blowing an entire side of the spacecraft away, the ship eventally starts leaking oxygen and the crew (Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise) have to survive in the Lunar Module until they can safely make it back to earth. But they didn't get to play with moom rocks.

noun - A condom filled with poop (deuce, shitlog, stinky brownsnake) or other assorted fecal forms that has been tied off at the end and frozen. Once frozen, It is used to penetrate the vagina, anus, or other bodily orifice in the same fashion as a dildo. Apollo 13's are commonly used in the spacedock community and other shit-related sexual deviancy circles.

I was just going to give her a traditional spacedock, but I remembered that I had a fresh Apollo 13 in my freezer. I used that on her vagina and saved my pending shit for a Cincinatti Steamer I delivered to her later that evening.

Moments before an accidental Moon landing you fart releasing unexpected gases that change your original trajectory. Upon new trajectory you notice how close you were to a moon landing and jury-rig things out of your gym bag to get yourself out of the situation as fast as possible.
I was bending over in the locker room but I farted and stood back up. When I stood up I noticed the guy behind me had his Charlie Browns all in my face. So I grabbed my water bottle and a sock out of my gym bag and walked to the sink like I was fucking Macgyver and pulled an Apollo 13.
