That's part of the fun of ATC. You get a stupid guy on the freq and it
won't be long before everybody else knows it too.

Hee hee -- for sure!

Not ATC per se, but coming back from Pella (near Des Moines) today we
over-flew a poor sap who was apparently sitting on his microphone. He had
the incredible misfortune of being the last person in a flight of three to
land, and while they landed ahead of him he gave a long, critical, and quite
profane review of his "friend's" landings to his co-pilot -- and also,
unknowingly, live on the air, for every pilot in the Midwest to hear.

After he landed, we could hear the guy shut down, and someone yelling at
him. Then the mike went dead.

It was hilarious! (But I'll bet those guys aren't friends anymore.)
