ATC related joke

[Chananya Freedman]

With the new Health Care legislation, there is expected to be an extreme shortage of doctors.
So soon, when you go to the doctor, you will here the nurse announce:
Physician and Hold, Please.

HAH!  Simple and corny...but I lol'd.

Speaking of simple and corny I was listening to Charlotte ground yesterday afternoon, and there had been some earlier reports of some wind shear on final to 18L (I think).  A brickyard flight asked the controller "how do the runways look" and his answer was "they are long, skinny and covered in asphalt" brickyard's response "good one".

You can also use the new phraseology for position and hold for the same scenario:

"Line up and wait"

So we're not changing it for the sake of ICAO standards; we're just getting people used to waiting in line.

  Aircraft technicians are also doctors....

After borescoping an engine, take your stethoscope to gate B23 for Pilot (senior doctor) inspection and after that take some blood(bleed)pressure tests from the internal ducts (vanes).

Airforce one fuel tanks being cleaned:

Two pilots have to start all engines of Airforce one to empty the fuel tanks to clean them of dirty fuel.
As this is going to take some time the First officer states to have brought his pyjama's with him.
After some time, making jokes, both pilots check the fuel gauges and notice that very little fuel has been used... They wonder if an 747 can be so economical.. but there's no one to ask..  After a few more hours they notice the same result, when the captain took a look outside the window... where he saw this fuel truck parked under the left wing....

Informing the first officer.. he replied: "maybe the fueltruck needs to be cleaned as-well" as the captain asks him:"then what about the other four fueltrucks waiting in line"?
