Long ago story from the days when women were just starting out in ATC.
Busy day at O'hare, the 5:00 push.
United: "United 320 heavy, push D-16 with Delta"
Ground: "United 32O hold the push I have two in the alley"
United: "Ground please repeat, your transmission is fuzzy"
Ground: "United 320 heavy, hold the push for traffic in the alley."
United: "Ahh gound your transmission is very fuzzy."
Ground "American 190, is my transmission fuzzy?"
American: "I don't know honey, how old are ya?"
