Default Talk Like A Pirate Day

Tomorrow is Friday, September 19: International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

It is important that pilots and controllers use proper radio
terminology on this day.

Instead of merely requesting permission to taxi, for example, the pilot
should say, "Avast, ye scurvy scum in the tow'r. We be taxiing to
runway 17." If the tower controller is female, she may also be
addressed as "Ye saucy wench."

I have no doubt that others will wish to add their own recommendations. :-)
