At my airport KILG just about 25 to 30miles south of philly, its class D we had a funny older fellow that just retired, if you come in on a cross wind on runway 1 he would tell you to contact ground on 121.7 and request a clearence to the restroom. Or he would clear you to the parking lot for the lemonade stand. He is really funny when he reads the ATIS to.

There was a funny controller at PHL Tower, mabey PHL APPROACH might know of him, but he used to say things like information Echo is hot off the press. Or he would give a frequency hand off and it would sound something like this, "United 896 contact philly depature on 119.75 and recromend us to all your your friends"

ah, i read these many moons ago. there are more though:

Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on frequency 124.7" Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway." Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff behind Eastern 702, contact Departure on frequency 124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?" Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, Roger; and yes, we copied Eastern and we've already notified our caterers."

One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of the active runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee. Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, "What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?" The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: "I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one."

That's a link to a thread with a clip I made a while back includes both of the mentioned.  This guy is very entertaining to listen to.  Always fun to monitor local when he's on while I'm at work.
