A pilot was landing at Frankfurt and called the tower for clearance speaking German. The following conversation ensued:

Frankfurt Tower: Please speak English if you wish to land at this airport.

German pilot: I'm a German pilot flying a German airliner landing at a German airport. Why the hell do I have to speak English?

British Pilot on same frequency: Because you lost the bloody war.
