They can put a man on the moon, BUT...

Why can't they make a deodorant thingee that doesn't self-destruct all over my bathroom floor when it runs out???

get one of those deodorant crystals. Then it will just shatter to pieces when it hits the bathroom floor.

Actually, we can't send a man to the moon just now. Really, we have no spacecraft that could do it, and NASA have thrown out the plans for the ones that did. AND the plans for the non-disintegrating deodorant.

The problem with mine is that is virtually clear and there is no warning when its empty. So instead of applying deodorant all one is doing is sanding the underarm area with a piece of plastic.

Because in space, deodorant chips never hit the floor.

They can send a man to the moon, but they can't make a date stamper that doesn't piss ink all over your hands?!?!
