"I may be a babbling idiot by the time I get back from
listening to country music"
FAA controllers are instructed that if they hear country western music in
the background of a pilot calling, that they are to divert all other
aircraft which might intercept it. If the pilot asks for a repeat of
instructions, they declare an emergency for you.
I thought that was keen, and tried to keep the volume upwhen contacting ATC,
but found a controller in Texas that simply asked me to key the mike and not
say anything.
