Quote:There are a few gasps from the parishioners, and several of the children began to giggle."I looked up, and realized that two of the fokkers were directly above me. I aimed at the first one and shot him down. By then, though, the other fokker was right on my tail."Quote:Quote:At this point, several of the elderly ladies of the church were blushing with embarrassment, the girls were all giggling and the boys laughing loudly.Quote:Quote:The Pastor finally stands up and says, "I think I should point out that 'Fokker' was the name of a German-Dutch aircraft company, who made many of the planes used by the Germans during the war."Quote:Quote:"Yes, that's true," says the old pilot, "but these fokkers were flying Messerschmidts"...
