So I was flying my Messerschmitt Me 262 into Canada. Was flying to attack the redcoats in Niagra falls. I’m doing mach 26 when all of the sudden, the fan belt goes out on me. And I dont have a spare! But what I do have is a pair of nylon stockings that I was saving up to use to pick up any Canadian chick in Toronto. you know, after the war, when we will have occupied it. So, I tie a rope around the joystick of the plane, and the other end of the rope around my waist so that I wont fall. I hit a switch to put the plane into auto-pilot, flip open the canopy, and crawl out onto the nose cone of the plane and pop open the engine hood. Sure enough the fan belt is broken. So I replace it with the nylon stockings. Satisfied that it would hold, I close the hood, get back into my cockpit, and continue on with my successful bombing run.

That was a close one for you!

Good thing you didn’t take an arrow to the knee!

I call “foul” on your claimed testimony as a ME-262 pilot! As a former Messerschmitt Me 262 Mechanic, I know all too well, a pair of women’s nylon stockings aren’t long enough to be used as a fan belt on the Me 262!

Besides, nylon stockings hadn’t yet been invented. The Germans still used silk! Your clever ruse had this one slip-up.
