FLIPY FLAPS!
As I was rolling out, the local tower guys who know us by voice said
"spernak 38, turn right ahead, taxi to spernaks via...ehh, we're doing some training on ground, you mind going ground point seven when clear?"
"spernak 38, sure, ground point seven, I'll see if I can't give her a hard time"
so I clear, at seven at echo, only about 100 yards our office,
"merrill ground, spernak 38 is clear of seven at echo, request progressive taxi to spernaks"
At which point, someone keyed the mic as the tower controllers were busting up.
Then there was a long pause from the controller in training,
"Spernak 38, turn right ahead, the second building on the left is your building, Spernak airways."
The next couple of flights I could pats on the back from the local controllers, and chuckles, I love working at a small field.
