[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 218977, member: 1246"] [B][SIZE=4] WWI Flying Ace....[/SIZE][/B] [B][/B]The professor of a European history class at a very conservative Baptist college invited a local World War I "Ace" pilot to lecture to his class about the air war during WWI. The very weathered-looking old man began his lecture by saying, "I'll never forget one beautiful morning in the spring of 1917. I was flying over the French vineyard country enjoying all of God's natural beauty, when all of a sudden the solitude of the day was broken when a bunch of them German 'fokkers' emerged from behind a cloud." The students began buzzing over the language used by the old man, when the professor interjected, "There may be some need to further clarify what was just said. A 'Fokker' is a German airplane from that time period." The old flying ace then said, "Yeah, but these 'fokkers' were Messerschmitts!" [/QUOTE]
