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)

Famous Fokkers

The name of that section is hilarious, and clearly intentional.

This one is old and you might have heard it :) --MoRsE 07:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC) ==

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."

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).
