"We aim for the stars. But sometimes we hit London"
...a bit of graffiti IIRC on the London Tube - circa 1960-ish. (at which time - scarily - the Blitz was about the same distance in the past as Gulf War I is now )

There was a (fairly rubbish) film about W v B called "I Aim at the Stars", and some luvvable cockney wag had scrawled underneath on the poster "... but sometimes I hit London".

And in early Sputnik days, 'twas always said: "It's not that the Russians are better than the Americans, but the Russians' Germans are better than the Americans' Germans"
