I heard this one... ATC was very busy and finally issued a
hold to about a dozen aircraft. One of the aircraft said
"Bull****." The controller lost his temper and said, "Who
said bull****?"

Every aircraft came back with... United 123, negative on the
bull****. American 234, negative on the bull****. This was
the reply from all the aircraft.

period of absolute

ain't THAT f-ed up!"
