In the new EAA magazine this month, they've published a survey of

Most of it is silly/fun stuff, but one statistic really caught my eye.
Fully 32% of respondents admit to having being told to "Call the
tower" after landing!

One third of all EAA members have been told to "call the tower"? Is
that possible?

I asked for and received clearance for immediate on 5.
(winds were light)

I explained what happened and that was that.
