Joke time

Old joke I probably got from the TB forums.

An elderly veteran is a guest speaker for a high school class and is asked about the scariest moment he had during the war. He relates how he was flying alone and got bounced by a squadron of fokkers. As he describes the fight the kids start snickering every time he says "fokker" prompting their teacher to interrupt the veteran and tell the class that a fokker was a type of airplane. "That's true" the old vet said "but these fokkers were flying Messerschmitts!"

Along a similar vein...
Old Bob Melvin joke:
I was a pilot during the cold war. One day as I was on patrol, I suddenly found myself surrounded by Russians. Russians in front of me, Russians behind me. Russians to the left and right, over and under! What do you do?



I became a Russian. :D

That one is truly great! I must remember that one!
