138:24:06 - "Lovell: Well, I can't say that this week hasn't been filled with excitement."
Kerwin : "Well, James, if you can't take any better care of a spacecraft than that, we might not give you another one."

Astronauts are a very tight fraternity and they do rib each other from time to time. There probably would have been an uproar if the joke came from Glynn Lunney or Gene Kranz.  ;)
