I think its great when we can communicte so well with ATC, and often it just takes a pilot to say somthing like that for them to lighten up and enjoy there days! Once flying out of East London (South Africa) a student was getting shouted at for not being 100% of his position, a SAA(South African Airways) 737 , spoke up saying along the lines " If your wife is giving you a hard time , dont take it out on the student!" HEKTIC!
