Mars Mission seeks married couple: in space, no one can hear you argue

Husband's log. Stardate 2018.45

Day 2. Things aren't going well. Wife spends the day continually asking me to review plotted course.

"It's automatic," I say. "The ship does it."

"Then why is Earth getting bigger?" she says. I explain that the screen has several magnification options. Later, when she falls asleep, I turn us around. 499 days to go.

Wife's log. Stardate 2018.51

Me: Why have you left the toilet seat up again?

Him: I didn't. It must have fallen up.

Me: It's weightless. It stays where you put it. Don't you understand anything about space?

Him: It's probably broken. I'll have a look at it later.
