I read this smwhere..took time to find again

This is from an actual FAA transcript of a fighter pilot talking to a local tower, presumed to be from somewhere in the Southern United States.
Pilot: This is chrome-plated stove-pipe triple-nickle eight ball, angels eight, five in the slot, boots on and laced, I wanna bounce and blow.
Tower: Roger, you've got the nod to hit the sod.
The translation goes something like this:
Pilot: This is silver jet, 5558 (callsign), height 8000ft, 5 miles inbound (to the runway), gear down and locked, request permission for a touch and go.
Tower: Roger, cleared for touch and go.
The transcript has appeared in many aviation magazines and probably quite a few websites.
