Joke of the Week #5

Thinking about making this a Friday thing, this is the second week in a row I've been late, my sincerest apologies. 

A British pilot named Jacob is shot down over Germany in world war 2. He bails out and is taken captive by the Germans. They take him to their prison camp. Winter is raging on, and conditions in the camp are harsh. Jacob is the only prisoner that speaks English, most of the others being French or Russian. Pretty soon, a guard named Hanz learns of Jacob, and, wanting to better his English speaking, befriends Jacob.

Before long, Jacob loses his right leg to frostbite. He asks his friend Hanz to get it to a pilot and have the pilot drop it over the British base where he was stationed. Though it's a bit of an odd request, Hanz agrees. 

Weeks go by, and Jackb loses his left leg to the harsh winter conditions. He asks Hanz to get this leg, too, airdropped over his base. Hanz agrees again, not wanting to disappoint his friend, who has taught him a fair bit more English by now.

A few more weeks pass, and Jacob loses his right arm. Hanz, knowing just what Jacob wants done with it, takes it away. Hanz returns the next day with Jacob's arm.

Jacob asks "what happened? I thought you were going to get it dropped on my base?"

Hanz replies "my commanding officers have learned what You've been asking me, and have ordered me to put a stop to it. I am sorry, friend."

Jacob asks "why? Your pilots fly in that area all the time, I can't imagine it would be too out of the way"

Hanz answers, "They think you are trying to escape"
