How about from an ATC when asked by another why he had cleared a jet at FL350 through an active rocketry restricted area,
"Bah, wockets don't fly THAT high..."
"Bah, wockets don't fly THAT high..."
I was lining up the 747 a few years ago, and the near-60 age Captasin reached up the body gear steering switch and said, "Lock the tailwheel?"
Couldn't stop giggling for minutes ....
More to come as I remember them.

Here's a "Quickie"
Smart young FO heading for the top of the slide, hot, not configured, leaving things a bit late, starts to come unstuck and is trying to retain a semblance of competency...
Crusty old Captain looks on and says... "You think you're f#cking this cat? You aren't even holding its tail!"
Another "Quickie"....
"Then we were inside the thing [CB], aeroplane shaking like a dog sh!tting pinecones...."

From conceited pilot: "Thats a good idea, I'm glad I thought of that."
After foreign accent controller's instruction: "Did you get that?"
From an ex RAAF female controller at a certain GAAP tower (with 3 parallel runways) who was very highly strung: "All stations listen out before transmitting, show some airmanship"
"Don't worry its just a little rainshower/just a bit of lightning."
In reference to flying a closer approach/circuit than desired: "Its a bit tight but I hear thats the way you like it"
As an aside, humourous to hear an ATIS quote "cloud scattered 1000, broken 2000 with lower patches" How many lower patches does it take to make a FEW?
