A true story.
Speed bird 2429 lands at frankfurt international airport in Germany.
The Captain taxi's off the runway.
German Ground:"speedbird 2429, taxi to gate number 33"
The BA flight crew, unfamilier with the new taxiways have a short delay whilst they check on their charts to see where they are
going.
Annoyed with the hesitation;
German ground:" SPEEDBIRD 2429, HAVE YOU NOT BEEN HERE BEFORE"
BA Captain:" yes I have...In 1942, but I didn't stay very long!"

Assuming that the Capt was there in 1942
he would have been around 20 years old
He would now be 79 years old. A Capt
cannot be over 60. I therefore declare
you're tale fallacious and well past its sell by date.
Try laying off the bottle in future

Story has been told in numerous different flavours. One version (funnier it has to be said) to be found at http://www.pprune.org/cgibin/ultimat...&f=73&t=000001
