During WWII an American was in his fox hole in the dark of night. It was so dark he could not see that a Japenese soldier had crawled into the fox hole with him. The American pointed his bayoneted rifle at the enemy soldier and said "Are you an American?" The startled Japenese soldier, who could not see either wanting to let the other soldier in the dark to know where he was from in case he was Japanese replied, "Yokohama, Yokohama!"
The American soldier dropped his gun to his side, threw out his right hand and said, "Well, shoot, I'm from Tulsa!"
