Reminds me of one of the oldest of old flyer jokes

One day the pilot of a Cherokee was told by the tower to hold short of the active runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee. Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, "What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?" The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, replied "I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one."
