What is Your Intention?

[Jinkster]

A very funny comment that re-entered my brain after talking to some PPL veterans a week or so ago.

ATC asked an aircraft in the circuit what his intentions were and the pilot replied, my intention sir is to become a commercial pilot and fly for an airline....ATC replied, sorry sir but do you want to land or go-around??

:D
