A couple weeks ago, I heard someone approaching LAN - a King Air, I
think. Lansing Approach gave him a vector that would have given him a
reasonable final, and the pilot requested direct to the field for a
visual approach.

The approach controller said, "I can give you that, but you've got
about 5 miles to lose 6000 feet." The pilot replied, "That's fine,
we'll take it." So, the controller gave him the new vector, he read
it back, and then keyed up again and said, "Screamin'!"

The controller replied, "Is that you or your passengers?"
