Departing JFK many years ago the cleance could include almost a full route as far as the ocean,read at lightning speed. Smart FOs would write down the flight plan in advance so they could read it back as fast as it was given. Extra points were earnt by replying for him, if the captain was doing the rt, didn't expect the torrent of words, and would need a repeat.
My favourite though was the southern U.S. captain who, after have had two repeats, drawlled "You'all hear how fast I speak, well that's how fast I write. Say again,"

(and don't get me started on "Climb to and maintain". Extra verbiage and a superfluous, possibly confusing, to)
