what is the funnyist thing you have ever heard on the radio?

An old anecdote that's made the rounds for a while goes something like
this:

Many commercial aircraft are stacked up waiting for approach to O'Hare.
ATC has imposed numerous delays, and some planes are already 1-2 hours
late. The WX is good, it's just that there is a traffic bottleneck
somewhere. Pilots, passengers, crew are all getting quite frustrated and
angry.

ATC: "All aircraft holding, expect 20 minutes additional delay."

Unknown A/C: "Ahhh . . . bull****!"

ATC: "Aircraft making last transmission, identify yourself."

(silence)

ATC: "Aircraft making last transmission, identify yourself immediately!"

(silence)

ATC: "Aircraft using 'bull****' in last transmission, identify yourself.
American 411, was that you?"

American 411: "Approach, American 411: negative on the 'bull****,' sir."

NW 202: "Approach, NW 202: negative on the 'bull****.'"

Delta 55: "Approach, Delta 55: negative on the 'bull****.'"

NW 33: "Approach, NW 33: we have a negative on that 'bull****.'"

.. . . and so on, right through the entire pattern.
