Best one ever, A German pilot flying a Lufthansa flight from JFK into Berlin, contacted the tower in German Tower: You are an international flight, please communicate in English Pilot: I am a German pilot flying for a German Airline flying into a German City, why to I have to speak English. After a long silence, another voice with a very British accent replied "Because you lost the war, mate."

The version I always got was that the British pilot is flying into Berlin and asks for directions to the gate. The annoyed controller barks at him saying, "what's the matter with you, can't you tell I'm busy? Haven't you ever flown to Berlin before?" To which the pilot replies, "yes, several times in fact. Problem was that back then we weren't landing."

LOL😂 In Russia, we have similar story, but on submarine. The general comes with a check on the submarine, speaking with the captain in the control room. The compartments are full of life, and suddenly someone says over the intercom: "Come on, be quiet, there's some important d... on board." The general is furious, yelling into the intercom: "Who said "d..."?!" And it started: "In the first compartment, the word "d..." was not pronounced," "In the second compartment, the word "d..." was not pronounced," and so on. As a result, nothing was found out, the crew was not punished.
This is a long'ish story but true: . Huge storm over Johannesburg, South Africa. A bunch of flights that had come in from various parts in Europe were asked to circle around until the storm blows over. These pilots were tired (they'd been flying for some 10 or so hours and now had to circle around and wait). . Various pilots called in at various intervals asking about the weather conditions and whether they could be cleared to land. They would repeatedly get a 'negative' response. After hearing a negative response, some pilot must have accidentally put his hand on the mic button and every one heard a transmission of a pilot saying, "F%$K!!!". . That is serious. You can be grounded for swearing at that level. . Jo'burg control tower calls out, "Will the pilot who swore please identify himself."..... radio silence...... again, "Will the Pilot who swore identify himself"..... . Suddenly some Englishman came over the radio, "This is BA147, that's a negative on the F#@k from us." Immediately all the other airlines cranked in, "This is Lufthansa442, That's a negative on the F$#K from us", "This is KLM... that's a negative on the..." . Control tower got the picture and announce, "Okay guys, we've all been having a long night, let's calm down and focus on getting everyone home safely tonight."

Haven't you ever flown to Berlin before?" To which the pilot replies, "yes, several times in fact. Problem was that back then we weren't landing."
Back in the late 90s we flew back home from Seattle. There were two flights at the same time out of there on the same airline. I was on one and a friend was on another so I swapped. It was a good thing too. Pilot comes on the intercom. "For you passengers, we apologize for not having syrup for your pancakes this morning. " Pause............. " But you will be happy to know that the other flight found they had no pancakes." Laughter breaks out among us. Pancakes with Coke on them works out well.

@@gravelydon7072 There’s a couple companies that used to offer only chartered flights that have started scheduled routes, and they still leave the cockpit totally open. Sometimes you’ll have to go a little out of your way for the airports they use, but compared to driving or paying for other flights, it’s so worth it. I usually have the plane entirely to myself, or occasionally there will be one or two other people onboard. Don’t know how sustainable that is even with all the private flights they still do, but I’ll enjoy it while it lasts. $60 for my round trip ticket.

As a retired controller who worked the NYC for 8 years, we learned how important it was during heavy traffic periods to use positive ATC control instructions to minimize misunderstanding and potentially conflicts…it was a lesson we took seriously however during slow periods a little humor and deviation from standard phraseology was good for both pilots and us.
