I? remember a few things? from my Air Force days during the Korean War:
Where does the Auto Pilot do his laundry?? In the prop wash.
Where does he go swimming? In the bomb bay.
Where does he get a drink? From the bus bar.
Where does he get his money to spend in the bus bar? From the wing tips.
When is the best time for the plane's electrician to bail out without a chute? When there is a short to? ground.
There I was at 20,000 feet, hanging out of the bomb bay doors by my throat mic, no chute, and the Captain says, "Get off the INTERCOM!"
?and on and on and on.

I didn't keep a copy of the ones we shared, but I find them easy to remake
or make up.
withdrawal = how a country bumpkin speaks
remembered = having had an artificial limb attached
explain = mothballed aircraft
etc.
