Bill,

"We have a new route for you, ready to copy" ATC shorthand for "spill
the bottle".


Reminds me of that great exchange between a biz jet and ATC this summer
(different context, but still funny, IMHO). The jet, after asking for and
not getting direct to destination several times, goes: "D-XXXX, request
20 degrees to the left to avoid" To which ATC answers: "D-XX, to avoid
what?". Bizjet: "To avoid cost".
