TWR controller must be moonlighting at Burger King...

A while ago:

"...Twr, Cutlass 77R, 10 north with Delta, inbound for landing..."
"Cutlass 77R, xxx Twr, do you have Information Delta?"
"77R affirmative"
"Cutlass 77R, state intentions"


This morning:

"I'll have a #1 with black coffee"
"Ok, a #1 with black coffee... what would you like to drink with that?"
"Coffee... black."
"Would you like cream or sugar with that?"

Perhaps the controller needed some of that coffee.

Atlanta airport, food court, Concourse B:

Me: "I'd like a chicken caesar salad, please"
Them: "That will be $7.50. What kind of dressing would you like? We have blue cheese, ranch, italian, or caesar"

(sigh)
 
Food concourse (sandwich bar) at InfoMart in Dallas, several years ago:

Me: I'd like a BLT please.
Girl behind counter: Do you want lettuce and tomato on that?
 
Today at ILG, after being cleared to transition the airport midfield at 900 msl, and when I was coming even with the tower.

Me: This is a great view of your tower from here.
Twr: I hope you're not taking pictures, I didn't comb my hair this morning.
Me: No problem, I haven't figured out how to take pictures and drive the helicopter at the same time.
Twr: (Chuckle)

A couple of minutes after I blew by the tower at 115 KIAS...

Twr: Helicopter 49L, you're about clear of my airspace. Frequency change approved, good day.
Me: Thanks for your help -- it's not ofter I get to buzz a tower.
Twr: I would have let you go lower if you had asked.
Me: (Chuckle)
