Another one of the late 70`s.
A clever mind named the entry points at Majorca TMA with spanish fish names, two of them were "lisa" and "rape". Some pilots ask questions like "are we cleared to rape?".
Some Controllers used to clear planes to Palma via rape and lisa (raping lisa).

Going to Shreveport LA. You get to go direct KRACK going to the OM. Of course if you are going to Dallas Love field, we can ask folks if they have given Hawker XXXX the finger yet <G> (finger3 arrival)...

Controller is working his ring off.
US mil tanker chips in : "Ahh centre, Whist***** there's too much traffic up here at 350, we'd like to descend."
Unidentified:"Well stop refuelling them, that will reduce the traffic!"

When BA first started Shuttle flights with Tridents (HS21!) and B737.
Lon. Control: SHT7C, confirm aircraft type?
SHT Pilot: Stand-by.
Anonymous Pilot: SHT7C its easy, count the throttles, if you have 3 your a Trident, if its 2 your a B737.

An A/A 767 arriving into BHX told by a female controller: 'American 123 descend to FL 200 to be level abeam WHI.'
American: 'Mam is that when ready?'
Snapped reply: 'Negative, if I had meant when ready I would have said when ready!'
Short pause:' Shoot, wasn't I married to you once!'
LHR to 146:' Expedite vacating BA 123 at 2 miles.'
146: 'RODGER'
BA 123 'Does the 146 Captain know the meaning of expedite?'
146: ' Does the BA Captain know the meaning of Foxtrot Oscar!'

Heard from an uninspired tower controller somewhere south of Ascension, to an F3 wishing to depart north IFR (and to all those who have not had the joy of being here, north is toward some pretty high highground).
"Eagle 1, tower, right turn out on departure approved, caution, terrain responsibility is your separation!"
"Uhhhh, roger tower!"
Damn, change 6 strikes again!!!!!!!
Things are always worse than they seem!

Clacton west sector frequency blocked (bad enough) by carrier wave ... suspected culprit military C130 crosser.
After 3 or 4 mins frequency clears:
Controller:"Ascot1224, London, you have been blocking this frequency. Do not transmit, and listen out on 132.49. I say again, do not transmit, and listen out 132.49"
Ascot1224:"Roger London, do not transmit, and listen out 132.49. Goodday...."..3 minutes of carrier wave.
After 3 or 4 mins frequency clears:

**** we have a problem, company traffic overtaking you, you can either climb or descend your choice.
pilot: Can I increase speed to stay ahead?(C130 being chased by a KC35 and 2xF16's)
me: Sure, if you can increse to about say...420kts g/s!

Coming in to a secret military base to the N of LHR, the pilot of a 'VC5' minijet was asked by the controller, 'what type of approach do you require?' As quick as a flash, back came the Irishman, 'request PAR for controller training!'

Remember reading this one years ago - no idea if it's true.
BAW 747 has just rolling out after landing at LL from an ILS approach.
TWR (trying to be helpful - of course): Just for information, you appeared to be slightly left of the centreline all the way down the approach.
BAW (after a short pause): Yes that's right, and my First Officer was slightly to the right of it.
