Euroberlin, the 51% Air France 49% Lufthansa airline, used the callsign EuroBear, a brown bear being on the coat of arms of Berlin. On hearing this, there was an unidentified drawl - but clearly from one of the Good Ole Boys who used to hustle those PanAm 727s up and down the air corridors at unfeasible speeds - "Huh ... funny way of sayin' Looft-Hansaw!"
chevvron, with your considerable experience in ATC you must know, surely, that the reply to the female controller asking if she can turn you on at four miles is: "Madam, I have never had the pleasure, but you may most certainly try." In your most obsequious tone of voice. Which would probably get you into trouble, in this day and age. Come to think of it. Sadly.
