[WWI] Postwar Aircraft

[Nicklas, Brian]

I thought it was "Lucas Prince of Darkness."
I was also told that Thalidomide was brought to market to provide the
British sports car industry with mechanics with the proper sized arms.

And that you can't start a BMW cycle of certain period until you've
primed and cranked it enough that one of your boots is full of petrol.

And I find it funny that I still have to explain to BMW owners what that
logo means...  And no, not radial engines...

I think you're all very unkind, but I must pass on the story
of a group of bikers touristing in Britain, suddenly the four
BMWs in the lead came to a stop and the fifth guy on a Triumph
wondered why they were all falling over laughing, till he saw 
they were passing the Lucas factory and one of the neon letters
in the Lucas sign had failed!

Passed the Lucas joke over to my brother(owned an old Jag) and he
answered
