We have an approach controller in Dayton who is very funny. I always enjoy
talking to him. He rarely uses the "traditional" ATC words unless you don't understand him and he has to repeat it. One day he was having a communication problem with a pilot about what to squawk. 5 times he instructed him to squawk 1234; however, the pilot kept repeating 1324. Finally, he told him to write down the numbers exactly as he said them and slowly repeated the squawk a 6th time. When the pilot successfully repeated it to him he said "Great!! Nice job. Now I want you to make your transponder look exactly like what you wrote down." Several pilots chimed in thanking him for a good laugh.
