Heard on an early evening TV show:
O'Connor : "Why do you pick on the Germans so much?"
Boardman : "Cause my dad was badly wounded by them in the war"
O'Connor : "Really. I didn't know. What Happened?"
Boardman : "An air raid over his airfield. He was a Spitfire pilot"
O'Connor : "Wow. What happened?"
Boardman : "A squadron of German Fokkers bombed them n only my dad got in the air. He took the entire squadron on single handed and got badly hurt"
O'Connor : "Incredible. Tell us more"
Boardman : "He flew into this squadron of Fokkers n opened fire. There was a Fokker fallin' here n a Fokker fallin' there...."
O'Connor : "I'd just better explain to an early evening audience that a Fokker is a make of German aeroplane....just to avoid any misunderstanding"
Boardman : "Yeah, that's right but these Fokkers were Messerschmidts!"
