bashwolf your reply reminds me of a story my XO sent me a few weeks ago, it goes like this..
A World War II pilot is reminiscing before school children
about his days in the air force. "There I was over Germany in
1942," he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans
had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one
day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the
clouds, these fokkers appeared. (At this point, several of the
children giggle.) I looked up, and right above me was one of
them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I
immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me."
At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle
and boys start to laugh.
The teacher stands up and says, "I think I should point out
that 'Fokker' was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft
company"
"That's true," says the pilot, "but these fokkers were flying
Messerschmidts."
