Very, very humorous SNCO controller in Germany during late Eighties.
"Ascot **** are you aware of missed approach procedures?"
Aircraft skipper, trying to sound smart, then reels off a whole long list of everything about the airfield that he is aware of, high ground, pylons, etc.
"Roger all that, are you also aware of traffic now in your 12 o'clock at 5 miles, if not turn hard right now !!!"
Same controller returning from airfield inspection reports a number of rabbits in the vicinity of the VASI's. Smart young boy advises long in tooth colleague that they are now called PAPI's. "No boy, they are still called rabbits in my book".
