Well seeing as this thread is already going off topic (probably a good thing given some of the responses) I once flew with a very serious Austrian training captain.
After a few days he asked me in a teutonic monotone what my objectives were for the rest of the tour. "To teach you a sense of humour because you are Austrian and don't have one".
There was a pause during which I was sure I'd gone too far then he replied "Ja. I know".
Which was pretty bloody funny I thought. Funnier even than Phil
