Jack and Gene had several stories. Ron had lost his scissors (to cut the food bags in order to eat) and couldn't find them (you always loose something in 0G, it's amazing). So, they decided to take only one pair to the Moon and let Ron have the other. They managed (with advice from the ground). On the way back to Earth, Jack found Ron's scissors hiddden behind the lower equipment bay. Doesn't tell Ron but well Gene. A few months later, during a flight controller party, Jack and Gene finally presented Ron with his scissors. He was relieved but...quite a laugh!

Gene: "When I got out of the LM, all of a sudden I realized I am standing. I was no longer in motion in space as we were all the way to the Moon. I was standing on another body, another planet if you will in this Universe, that is not Earth. For the first time, standing on something that is not our home planet. And I like to think that overwhelmed me."

Cernan (like most of the others) found that it wasn't the Moon itself that captured his attention but the view of the planet he had just journeyed from.

"You were standing on the surface on the Moon, surrounded by the blackest black that you can conceive in your mind. On Earth, that is a paradox, but on the Moon, it's true. To try and comprehend the spirit, the sense, the feeling of what it is like is truly the answer to the question. We all came back with something a little different, perhaps, having had a similar experience"

For Jack, walking on the Moon is like jumping on an infinite trampoline. He thinks that had he had ski poles, he could have outrun the Rover.
He knows the spacesuits were the reason why being on the Moon was so enjoyable (water cooling system instead of air cooling).

To the question: what would you have done if you had been stranded on the Moon?
Jack: "As a last resort in the event of a battery failure preventing ascent engine ignition, we had a set of jumper cables. My good friend here (Gene) would have been responsible for going outside, as the hatch opens inwards, against the LM pilot and only the CDR, using an emergency oxygen pack, could have gone outside to connect the cables to the descent stage batteries. He would then have climbed back inside and attached the cables to the ascent stage circuit breakers to ignite the engine.".
This made the whole audience laugh!
