Cockpit Rage

A little humor? I can't vouch personally for this story, but it was told to
me by a pilot as the truth, and does have a humorous tint.

It was during the slow-down by the controllers at the major terminals - that
was when? - the early '60's? - at Chicago O'Hare. Planes were stacked up
waiting to depart, jockeying for position, and tempers were warm in the
cockpits. It's assumed that in his confusion some guy dropped his mike, and
in his grappling to recover it, he accidently depressed the button and he
was heard to say, " Man! I'm all f-ed up!" Immediately the tower demanded
"Who said that! What's your number!" There was a long period of absolute
silence, from everybody, and a quiet voice piped up, "I ain't THAT f-ed up!"
