While returning to our base camp after an uneventful day, and wanting to have some fun…I thought I’d try an original (Well, maybe I borrowed it from the Henry Gibson character on ‘Laugh In’) query to the tower operator which backfired on me rather quickly. Anyway, here it is:
Little flower
In the tower
What’s the runyway
Of the hour.
Within a nano second came this reply:
Little peter
In the beater
Zero Five
Says the meter.
I never again have been anything but polite to the controller brethren.
