Another one I found very funny at the time, was near the end of a very long 12-13 hour flight back from Moscow direct to Hanoi in a 767.
As we approached Hanoi in overcast conditions, most of the local Tupolevs etc were holding, and the Hanoi tower called us to see if we were going to join the holding pattern or what.
He asked us to report "field in sight".
After looking out and seeing many fields okay, Captain BR confirmed "field in sight".
We thought no more of it, and did a normal let down and landing.
However after landing, this same Vietnamese Controller called us and said "follow the follow me car to the terminal."
Then "confirm you have the follow me car in sight"
It was his way of letting us know that he KNEW what happened.
