One that's in the line book at Boscombe:
"I didn't forget to book the clearance, I just didn't remember in time".
One that should be in the line book at Boscombe:
Flight Test Observer preparing to go on a detachment to Senior Manager on flight line .
FTO ( Sarcastically ): "We're really sorry you're not going on the detachment".
Manager: "You're not half as sorry as I am".
FTO ( Pauses then ): "Yeah,you're right".
( Ground crew disperse in four directions, trying to avoid wetting coveralls, while manager walks away puzzled ).
Happy days!
