There was a famous WWII ace in the Pacific, who was notorious for his drinking problem.
After going out on a mission one day, he landed his plane on an aircraft carrier and reported to the commanding officer on his mission.
He said, “Sir, I met five enemy pilots in the air. I shot down the first one, dove right, shot down the second one, dove left, shot down the third, did a loop-de-loop, shot down the fourth, but I made one mistake, and the fifth one got away.”
And the commanding officer replied with a thick accent, “Ah so Yankee flyer, you make more than one mistake!”
