Downwind right hand one night at a major UK airfield; the weather is good and we are getting radar vectors. I am flying and the F/O is doing the radio:

ATC: "The airfield is in your 2 o'clock".

F/O: "Roger".

ATC: "Can you actually see the airfield now in your 3 o'clock?"

F/O: "Affirmative, but there is scope for embarrassment".

I laughed about that for years.

P.S. Before the thought police get started, we said "affirmative" in those days.
