Heard this one from a friend who flew a ferryflight up north in Sweden.

A company flight was also northbound for a different airport and being in the middle of the night, they were more or less the only two aircraft on the frequency.

ATC 1- "X-jet 123, contact Sweden 132.150"
X-jet 123 - "Sweden 132.150, good evening"
ATC 1- "X-jet 321, also over to Sweden 132.150, evening"
X-jet 321 - "Sweden 132.150, evening"

Both switch to the new frequency but there's no room for both at the same time on the next frequency. They both block each other on 132.150. A very bored female controller who probably hasn't handled any flights for the past hour asks:

ATC 2 "okay, who was first"
X-jet 123 "pick me, pick me, pick me!"

The controller apparantly breaks down in laughter.

Sorry if I didn't do the story justice if anyone who was there reads this, but I thought it was funny...
