Chess Player : There was this airplane over the Atlantic on its way to New York. It was full of men from the United Nations. So halfway over the ocean the engines run low on petrol so they have to lighten the plane. So they heave out all the baggage, but it's still too heavy. So they chuck out the seats, but it's still too heavy! Finally this Froggy steps up and shouts "Viva la France" and leaps out. Then an Englishman steps up and shouts 'God save the Queen!' and leaps out. But the plane is still too heavy. So the Yank delegate from Texas steps up, shouts, 'Remember the Alamo!' and chucks out the Mexican.

Jack : Remember the Alamo.
Barmaid : I beg your pardon?
David : Oh, he was just joking.
Barmaid : Joking? I remember the Alamo. I saw it once in London... in Leicester Square.
Chess Player : She means in the Cinema--that film with John Wayne.
David : Oh yeah, of course. Right, with Laurence Harvey. Very bloody.
Chess Player : Bloody awful, if you ask me.
[he and the bar patrons laugh uproariously]
