He asked their air force to drop his leg over his airfield the next time they bombed it. They complied. The next week they had to take off his arm, and he made the same request. They complied again. The third week they said they'd have to remove his other leg, and he asked again. This time they said no. When he asked them why not, they said: "Ve zink you are trying to escape!"
If that's a true story it's fantastic, but I suspect it's one of the gags from that Bob Hope joke book you won on eBay!
Saw a rag-top cooper on my travels today and thought of you. Reminded me I needed to log in and catch up!
