Recounted to me by an ex MAMS team leader.
C130 - some freight and 30 or so pongos. Pongos do something annoying on the ac just prior to engine start that results in loadie kicking off pongos whilst sorting out load or some such activity.
MAMS TL at tail of ac sorting stack of baggage out - Sgt Maj arrives and asks what to do with remaining pongos whilst RAF types are faffing around. TL tells him to f**k off and run around in circles for a bit. 10 minutes later, Sgt Maj reappears and asks:
a). How long until we can re-board the ac?
b). Do you have any thing to eat/drink/smoke/steal?
c). Will it be ok to have a fag break behind the bowser?
d). Can he please have permission to fall out the Colonel from the running round in circles?
(d = correct answer)
