Funniest thing i heard was at college during the Emergency training. I was on the input side and my friend controlling. Traffic was a BAW*** 737 lined up on 26, and another a/c, a BRT*** 146 along taxiway S (parallel to the runway taxing opposite direction to get to holding point). He cleared the BAW for take off. Now, remember, with these emergency excercises, everyone is just waiting for something to happen. However, unfortunately the NATS simulators are prone to the odd gremlins and every now and again, an a/c instead of taking off down the runway, as you would expect, will roll out, at an angle accross the airfield.
Of course, it happened here, the BAW rolled out in a SW direction, straight into the path of the BRT a/c taxiing out. Pannicking as he thought it was part of the excersise all you could hear on RT was:
Trainee: 'OH MY GOD! err...Brittish***..eeer..'
Instructor in the background vindictively: 'do something'
Trainee: (as BAW plows along towards BRT) 'British*** eer...TRAFFIC INFORMATION...'
Now works at a London Airport
