With a name like Fokken...

When I was in university many years ago, my Spanish professor told a story about how he was in Amsterdam years before. Walking down a street, he passed a shop and noticed that they were selling "Fokken Gin." He said that he could not pass on th eopportunity. He bought a bottle, when back to his hotel room... and drank the whole bottle!

As an old story goes - While a WWII RAF fighter pilot was telling his life story to a class of school children, the teacher calmly interrupted to explain to the class that the "Fokkers" he was talking about were a type of German aircraft.

The old gent responded back with: "Yeah, and a lot of those fokkers were flying Messerschmidts."
