Rough Landing

An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard.
The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said:

- Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?

- Why no, Ma'am - said the pilot.

- what is it?

The little old lady said:

- Did we land or were we shot down?
