    As a pilot, I've heard those, and much much worse! My favorite was in La Guardia, New York. This is how I remember it:

    A United jet was obtaining a departure clearance from the controller and a female first officer was repeating the clearance back. After three times getting it wrong the 'obviously frustrated' captain came on and repeated the clearance back perfectly. After a few seconds this was heard: "bet thats the last time you let the stewerdess use the radio".... doh!
