[edit] Removing other people's work
I removed this "joke", because it has nothing to do with Fokker and was really too juvenile for words. Recoloniser 11:46, 22 April 2007 (UTC) (reproduced below)
[edit] Famous Fokkers
The name of that section is hilarious, and clearly intentional.

- A World War II pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force. (Joke best delivered with a good thick accent
- "In 1942," he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared.
- (At this point, several of the children giggle.)
- I looked up, and right above me was one of them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me."
- At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, "I think I should point out that 'Fokker' was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company"
- "That's true," says the pilot, "but these fokkers were flying Messerschmidts."
[edit] Comment to Recoloniser
Removing someone else's contribution especially on a discussion page is considered vandalism. As per WP:TALK, this runs contrary to the guidelines, principles and values of Wikipedia. If you must alter your own comments, it's always best to strike out your old comment using the <s> markup, so others can see what you previously wrote, editing out someone else's comments is unconscionable. Imagine how you would react if someone came by and removed your comments. I am restoring the "lame" joke in the hope that you will act more responsibly in the future and treat this as a well-meaning and well-intentioned "heads-up." Bzuk 14:30, 22 April 2007 (UTC).
