Hello all you simmers!
Hope you are doing well.

I thought I'd pass along this ATC exchange from the past.  Now I'm going back a long way into the 1970's. 

We were in KORD and listening to ground control prior to taxi out.  The ground frequency was very busy as you can imagine.  Chicago O'HARE airport is an old school airport with some very different names for various taxiways.  A flight that had just landed and was getting taxi instructions from the ground controller and was having a problem trying to figure out where some of the taxiways were located.  When he asked the ground controller where the taxiway called the "by-pass" was, the controller snapped back, "you're a pilot and you don't know where the by-pass is?"  The pilot was very calm and asked the controller "it it near the "henway?"  The controller asked, "what's a henway?"  The pilot said "a hen weighs 4 or 5 pounds, a rooster weighs 5 or 6!"

Well you can imagine every pilot on the frequency chimed in with a comment and every body laughed till they cried!  Those were fun times!  ;D

Stay safe and have fun flying...

Lou
