Bad flight

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, give a smile, and 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, but no
one seemed annoyed.
Finally everyone had gotten off except for one little old lady
walking with a cane.  She approached and asked,
conspiratorially, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?"
"Why no Ma'am, what is it?"
"Did we land or were we shot down?"
