Or the controller laughing in the background. There's at least two
aircraft that won't get to OSH. One was a Piper Clipper. This genius
ran out of gas and landed about 15 SW of here yesterday. Perfect
landing but after putting in a few gallons so he could get to the real
airport but lost control on takeoff, bending the gear up pretty good.
Today a Mooney requested an intersection departure right where two
runways intersect. When cleared for takeoff he took the wrong runway,
the one with 1100 feet remaining. It was 96 degrees. Slammed on the
brakes and blew a tire. So after he fixes the tire he'll have to deal
with FSDO on his runway incursion. Let the moron parade continue.

For me, that's a close second to hearing the tower controller's "Good
job, welcome to Oshkosh" when you put it on the appropriate dot/numbers.
