The Fokker

[Guest Glenn]

During a reunion of WWI airmen, decorated fighter ace Ole Olsen of Denmark was introduced as a speaker by the MC. During his presentation, Ole was asked by a member of the audience about his most trying moment in battle. "Well," he began, his nordic accent hanging heavily, "One day, flying over the North Sea, I look behind me, and there's all these Fokkers quickly closing in."

 

At this point, the obviously distressed MC rushed to the microphone and hastily explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Fokker was a warplane used by the German forces."

 

"Ya," continued Ole, "that' true, but THESE Fokkers were flying Messerschmidts!"
