Classic Frankfurt when the new copilot checks in with Director and states anything more than the callsign:
"Reach 123, go to xxx and hold. State fuel on board. Do not lie."
Houston Approach: Cessna 12345, traffic at 1 o'clock, 4 Miles, and 1,000 feet above you, it's a Boeing 777.
Cessna 12345: Give me another clue, I'm wearing a digital watch.
OSH Tower: "TriMotor, are you ready at Papa 2?"
TriMotor: "We're always ready"
OSH Tower: "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID, runway 36L, at P2 cleared for take off"
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?"

I was flying a piston popper above a low layer going into PIA following a 727 at my 11 o'clock and several miles. It was easy to see the traffic above the clouds and ATC kept me high until close in. Not wanting to shock cool the engines I slowly reduced power, trimmed the nose down and let the speed build.
ATC to me: "xxxxx, uh, we need you to slow, your catching the 727 in
front of you".
Me to ATC: "Tell 'em to keep their speed up".
ATC to 727: "xxxxx did you get that"?
727: "We got a wise guy behind us".
When I told my coworkers they said "yeah look out, the freight dog from hell is commin' through".
