 United Airlines sheds engine parts - Zero
The best aircraft joke I know was about a long range bomber of massive unreliability used by the US Strategic Air Command in the peak of the cold war. The Convair B36 "Peacemaker" with 6 radial petrol engines, and 4 jets, and an operational history of frequent engine fires and icing up.

US SAC claimed the Aircraft was "6 props Turning and 4 jets Burning"

The crews claimed. "two turning, two burning, two smoking, two choking and two more unaccounted for"
