We DO take any mention about bombs in airports or on airplanes VERY seriously here in the USA, and making these remarks will generally get the jokester arrested and jailed. This does NOT mean that Americans or American pilots don't have a sense of humor, however.

The following conversation between an American pilot and Rhein Main ground control was reported some time back in some of our magazines.

Rhein Main Ground, this is (insert your favorite airline's name here) 324 requesting taxi instructions to the terminals.

FA 324 dis ist Rhein Main Ground, Haf you neffer been to dis station befor?

Nope, Rhein Main, I flew over your base once back in '45 but never bothered to stop!
