ROFL, I have one.

Coming in for a landing a polish pilot turned to his polish co-pilot and said, "This is going to be a tricky landing, you have to do what I say instantly or we will both die, When I say "flaps" hit those flaps instantly, when I say "brakes" hit those brakes with both feet".

As they near the ground the pilot barks, "Flaps!", the co-pilot hits the flaps, the pilot yells, "Brakes!", the co-pilot hits the brakes with both feet.

After they stop the pilot says, "Gad, that was the shortest runway I have ever seen".

The co-pilot says, "Yeah, but look how wide it is".

Ok Kraut. I noticed on a few TDYs to Germany, they had a lot of "Fests". Any old excuse to drink beer will do with the Germans. I enjoyed it. If you go to a pub, order your beer early. It takes them about 10 or 15 minutes to pour it. Gotta let that natural head settle. It was more like a ceremony than a transaction. Heh. Worth the wait, though. I think they have the best beer in the world. Belgian gets the nod sometimes, but theirs was too rich and sweet for me.
