Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."
Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?"
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war."
So....next time you're in France, you ask somebody:
American to Frenchie: "Do you speak German?"
Frenchie: "No."
American: "You're welcome."
I heard one some years back. An aging British Airways pilot, forgetting momentarily his true destination, requested landing permission from air-traffic control in Berlin.
A voice replied in heavily German-accented English: "This is Dresden, don't you even know where is Dresden?"
The reply by the Brit, a former RAF pilot: "Oh bloody sorry. Dresden, yes, I know Dresden. I was by here once before, in 1945, but I didn't land then..."
Silence from the tower as the traffic controller realized this is when the US and Britain firebombed the city.
muwaahaha...
