Control Tower and air field radio conversations

Lifted from the Internet :)

Tower: Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!
Delta 351: Give us another hint! We have digital watches!

A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly
long roll out after touching down. San Jose Tower noted:
American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway,
if you are able. If you are not able, take the Guadalupe exit off
Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport.

Tower: Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on
frequency 124.7.. 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 behind Eastern 702, contact Departure on
frequency 124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?
Continental 635: Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and
yes, we copied Eastern... we've already notified our caterers.

One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold
short of the active runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed,
rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee.
Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and
said: What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?.
The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with
a real zinger: I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours
and I'll have enough parts for another one.
