Funny Things Heard On A Trip

You can't disable the FOQA computers. Heck, you don't even really know if your airplane has it onboard. If you aren't exceeding limitations or flying unsafe, I don't see a big deal...
 
Where I am teaching training at, everyone leaves the airport at the same time, and basically we all go to the same area. Well one guy was doing S-turns over an interstate, and another guy asked him "Which way are you going?", and the reply back was "I'm going both ways!". I guess that was taken the wrong way as if he doesn't care what he gets.
 
Something funny I heard a while ago:

MSP Center -"XXXturn left heading 1-7-0 vectors around the Devil's Lake MOA."
Seminole -"170 on the heading XXX"
Seminole -"Center XXX would like to climb above the MOA"
Center - "XXX can you climb to flight level 380?"
Seminole - "This is the Seminole that cant, not the Seminole that could"
Center - "*Laughing* Rodger fly heading 170, maintain one-zero thousand"
Seminole -"170, one zero thousand XXX"
 
Heard this on approach the other day:

Approach: N123 you guys visual out there? You're on an IFR clearence, you gonna need it to get in?

N123: That's a negative sir, it looks like we can slip in on the visual from here

Approach: N123 very good, you're cleared to...where ever you want maintain 4,000' cleared for the approach

We were delayed getting into IAH last night, has a short layover and to remain legal, we had to delay departure this morning.

Flight Attendant: "What time are we due into Salt Lake?"
Me: "About 1130"
Flight Attendant: "But... But... We're closing on a house tomorrow! I need to be done by 10!"
Me: "The Feds make the rules..."
Flight Attendant: "I'm going to miss the closing!"
Me: "Can't your husband go to the closing and you can meet up with him later?"
Flight Attendant: "No... He's got to work today!"
Me: "So do...aww, nevermind."
