German pilot.... (context: all pilots, no matter where in the world they live or are flying, must be able to speak english, it's the international aviation language.) A commercial pilot, formerly a WWII luftwaffe pilot says, in german - ""Flight 212, ready for takeoff."" The Berlin flight controller asks the pilot - ""Can you please speak in english?"" The pilot, furious, replies in english - ""Why?! I am a german pilot, on german soil, flying a german plane, speaking to a german air-traffic controller! Why do I have to speak english?!"" On the radio, you hear another, english pilot with a brittish accent reply - ""Because you lost the bloody war!""
