was privy to this gem couple of months ago.

wx had closed in minutes and was down to minimas on the ils (typical tropical wx) when one of the local day-vfr chopper boys pips in..

HGN: Approach, heli GN, position MAMEL 1000', request routing to the hangar.

App: Confirm you are v-m-c sir?
HGN: ..... err.. ...... say again for GN
App: Confirm you are v-m-c?
HGN: not catching that, please say again?
App(irritated now, speaks slowly and ups the volume): Confirm you are VICTOR MIKE CHARLIE?
HGN: Negative sir, callsign HOTEL GOLF NOVEMBER
App: HGN, are you VICTOR MIKE CHARLIE, i say again, are you VICTOR MIKE CHARLIE.
HGN:......(wait for it..).... err i dont know what that is sir
....
...
...
...
App(in apparent resignation and disbeleif):are you vfr?
HGN: AFFIRM! SORRY! ****!
