Real oldie but real goodie
A minister knew of an aging WWI pilot who had some amazing stories to tell about life in the air. So he invited him to tell his story on Sunday.

"So there I was," the old Ace began, "I came out of the clouds, and there were five of them fokkers right in front of me! So I shot one of them fokkers and he went down in flames! Then I chased the second fokker, and down that fokker went in flames too..."

The minister was starting to get embarassed, so he stepped up to the pulpit. "Uh. Ladies and gentlemen, the word he's using is 'Fokker,' F-o-k-k-e-r, which was a German airplane manufacturer during the war."

"Fokkers?" the old man quipped, "Hell no. Them fokkers were Halberstadts."
