Funny Radio isums...

I'm working my way through my IFR training...
Today on the radio "79V switch to 134.0"

Where I dial in 134.0 on the toggle freq acknolege the request
switch to COM2 (Meant to hit toggle)
Annonced that I was checking in....
At which point ground control (from where I'd left 15 min ago)
tells me they don't know why I'm calling..... with laughter.

I realise that this in only slightly funny, but makes me wonder
what is the funnyist thing you have ever heard on the radio?

When ATC gave a 800 # to a pilot in the air about his IFR flight plan
and his procedures. The pilot probably didn't laugh.

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

Fifteen or more years ago, Clearance Delivery at DCA rattled off at
high speed a lengthy clearance with several turns, altitudes and
fixes.

After a pause, a voice came on in a Texas drawl and said,

"Now, why don't y'all jus say all that again, real slow, as if it
mattered."

There was funny one on the net not long ago. An airliner pilot took a
wrong turn on a taxiway. A female ground controller read the riot act
to him. Chewed him out good.

All was quiet on the freq till a male voice came on, "Say, wasn't I
married to you once?"

My personal funniest malapropism to date was one time when
the Tower asked if I had my landing light turned on. I
replied I had everything turned on, then realized what I'd
said by the gale of backround laughter over the controller's
dry "roger".

Guyzzzz!

The funniest thing I heard was one time when I was getting
some kind of feedback squeal in my radios. I asked
"ground, do you hear an annoying squeal during my transmissions?"
Without missing a beat, the (male) controller shot back
"no ma'am, that individual just went downstairs"

Zingggg!

Cheers,
Sydney

the funniest thing I have heard was when we were shooting approaches
into LAS (las vegas international), a tomahawk came in and started doing
approaches also, when the tower gave the tomahawk instructions, an
airliner called tower and said "tomahawk, chop chop"
then said, "what kind of ground speed are you showing on that tomahawk"
tower said 100 kts, the airliner goes, 100 kts over the ground! Oh
boyyyyyy..

It was funnier being there and listening to it then telling it later.
but the tomahawk left right after that.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

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.

Pilot explaining in great detail to passengers about how they were
having engine trouble and would be diverting to a different airport.

Second pilot came on and said, 'Do it again on the intercom.'

Third pilot says, 'You told them way too much.'

In a previous article, (Gene Seibel) said:

The one I heard of was the pilot being told to go around because his gear
wasn't down, and then him telling the "passengers" that he was going
around because a plane entered the runway ahead of him, but saying it on
the frequency instead of on the intercom.

As it should be - snipe at *.mil and expect to drop any plans for
the rest of that day.

That reminds me of an incident during my instrument training. We were
flying an ILS into my home airport in a C172. There was a moderate head
wind, so my ground speed was only about 65 kts or so.

A 737 had arrived at the runway and called ready. We were still about five
miles out so I was expecting the controller to clear the 737 for takeoff.
Instead, the controller instructed the 737 to hold short for approaching
traffic.

About 30 seconds slip by when the 737 pilot calls out, "What kind of
aircraft is approaching, a helicopter?"
