Heard this story the other day.

One of our pilots picks up her clearance in the crew room in BOS. For some reason she accidentally writes an "8" down for her squawk code. When she gets out to the plane and starts up, she broadcasts over our company frequency thinking she's talking to BOS Clearance:

"BOS Clearance, I've got an issue with my squawk code, I can't fit 8 in my box."

Someone responded on the ops frequency with:

"Would seven be more comfortable?"
