Maybe some of the veterans are undoubtedly familiar with the Frequent Flyer Crier website: http://FrequentFlier.com
and with humor the on it. The proprietor may be a poster here. But I was just completely knocked out (ROFL, almost literally) with what I just read on the e-mail issue I just received.

This is just a sample:

Humor in the Control Tower
>>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>>>>>> >
The following are accounts of actual exchanges between airlines
and control towers from around the world:

A DC-10 had an exceedingly long roll out after landing with his approach speed just a little too high.

San Jose Tower: "American 51 heavy, turn right at the end if able. If not able, take the Guadeloupe exit off of Highway 101 and make a right at the light to return to the airport.

=====

Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124.7." (124.7 would be the radio frequency for Departure Control).

Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure... By the way, after we lifted off, we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway."

Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124.7; did you copy the report from Eastern?"

Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff. Roger; and yes, we copied Eastern and we've already notified our caterers."

Take a look. I plan to buy the book. (Sorry if this is "old news".)
