Of course, there's the old joke I have to repeat ...
*A reporter was interviewing an old Scandinavian fighter pilot, on live television, asking him how it was in the war.
"Vell," said the old guy, "vee used to fly up dere and dogfight dem Krauts. Ya, vee used to shoot dem German fokkers outta da sky."
"For the benefit of our viewers," interrupted the reporter, "we should explain that the term 'fokker' refers to a specific type of German fighter plane."
"Vell .ya," said the old Scandianvian pilot, "but those fokkers were flying Messerschmitt's."*
It remains a funny story. Just like this one:
True story: BA pilot to ground control watching a close call on the taxiiway between a Fokker and another plane a few years ago: "Ooh, that was a bit of a Fokker"
"Yes, almost the end of a beautiful Friendship"
