switch to COM2 (Meant to hit toggle)
Annonced that I was checking in....
At which point ground control (from where I'd left 15 min ago)
tells me they don't know why I'm calling..... with laughter.

I realise that this in only slightly funny, but makes me wonder
what is the funnyist thing you have ever heard on the radio?

Today I was safety piloting for an instrument pilot who was a bit rusty.
We were doing the ILS 33 into BDL. The whole way down he was full scale
side to side on the localizer and almost as bad on the glide slope.
Tower asked a commercial airliner to hold short of 33 for aircraft on
low approach. The aircraft who was facing right at us, replied "Holding
short and a fine approach it is". We both started laughing and the pilot
turns to me and says remember whats herd in the cockpit stays in the
cockpit. Therefore I cannot divulge his name but if he is reading this
he will kill me.
