Ground Control

[AV8OR]

While taxiing at London Gatwick, the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727.

An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming: "US Air 2771, where the hell are you going? I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C' and D', but get it right!" Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically: "God! Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to! You got that US Air 2771?"

US Air 2771: "Yes ma'am" the humbled crew responded.

Naturally the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771: Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground controller in her current state of mind.

Tension in every cockpit out in Gatwick was definitely running high. Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone, asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?"

Heard that one before, but it was in a place in the states, not the UK, which is abit farfetched for the 2 involved.

"Wasn't I married to you once?"

Good thing I kept reading... I was convinced the punch line was the very first sentence..
