Overhead during a rather quiet evening on Minneapolis Center.
Unknown aircraft: Minneapolis Center. Still there?
Minneapolis Center: Engineering to Bridge. Aye, Captain. Tricorder readings indicate carbon-based units still infest the planet.

Overheard at the Shreveport Downtown (KDTN) Airport, from a student pilot still very green on the radio.
N3AB: Uh, Downtown Ground, this is Cessna Three Alpha Bravo, will be taxiing to the north practice area, negative radar.
Downtown Ground [amused]: Cessna Three Alpha Bravo, I guess that would be quite a long taxi, wouldn’t it?
N3AB [after a short pause]: Uh, Downtown Ground, Cessna Three Alpha Bravo, uh, say again?
Ground [chuckling]: Cessna Three Alpha Bravo, never mind, taxi to runway one four.

N9800Y: Nine Eight Two Sierra Yankee fly runway -- hey, if you guys don’t hold still and be quiet, your mother and I will be flying to the Bahamas without you for spring break next week and you’ll be in Dallas with the babysitter. Am I clear?
Clearance Delivery: Oh no. Can I please go too, daddy?
N9880Y: Sure, come on. Guess I forgot to turn loose of the transmit button. Sorry.
Overheard in IFR Magazine's "On the Air"
Flying home to Portland Troutdale (KTTD) from Medford, Ore. (KMFR) Friday night, I heard the following:
Portland Approach: November One Two Charlie, traffic ten o’clock, southbound at 9,000, a Navajo.
12C: We’re looking.
Approach: Correction, it’s a Malibu.
12C: Still looking.
Approach: Sorry, it’s really a Navajo. Oh well, what the heck, it’s dark. More...

Piper 123: “They keep extending my route. If they keep extending my route I’m going to be low on fuel. Why can’t I go direct?”
Potomac Approach:: “Piper One Two Three, unable direct. Direc twill take you over P-40. Proceed direct Hagerstown, Victor 501, Martinsburg, then as previously cleared.”
Piper 123: “But if they didn’t keep extending me I wouldn’t get low on fuel.”
Approach:: “Piper One Two Three, if you feel you are low on fuel I advise you to stop somewhere and get fuel.”
After two more exchanges:
Approach:: “Piper One Two Three, I’m not doing this to you. You cannot fly over P-40. Are you familiar with P-40? It’s Camp David.”
Piper 123: “I know about Camp David, but I didn’t see any TFRs. This is making me get low on fuel.”
Approach:: “Piper One Two Three, if you fly over P-40 you’re not going to be worried about fuel.”
