I’ve had heard that as a bad joke before, but i experienced it live during a support call.

This reminds me of a turkish standup bit. Paraphrased :

You know we have these regional jokes about people from the north right? Well, I went to do a show there, and I didn't realise that those jokes are actually events that happen there every day. While I was there, I ended up being in several of these jokes, and in one of them, I was the englishman! When we were trying to get back , I went up to an older gent and I said "uncle, do you know where the airport is" and he responded to me "the airplane airport?" No, there's a ZEPPLIN that takes off from Rize every half an hour, direct to Istanbul!
