Rare Autumn sunny day at Topcliffe - QFI in ops room to stude hanging around looking bored -
QFI: "Have you got any solos to do, Bloggs?"
Stude: "Yes Sir, but I can't fly" (unfit with a cold)
QFI: "Don't worry son, we'll teach you!"

An old chestnut, but worth a mention..........
UTDxyz: "LON Ctl, United xyz FL320"
LON: "United xyz, descend 5000ft, QNH1012"
UTDxyz (obviously can't be @rsed with the conversion...) "Roger,.....can we have that in inches?"
LON: "Standby........."
Pause...........
LON: "United xyz, descend 60,000 inches, QNH1012"
Details are probably all wrong, but a classic nonetheless!
