Cannot allow this great thread to die. Besides 2012 may be the last year it's up anyways.....

Heard just before switching to tower frequency:

Approach Control: Southwest 123, are you on the arrival?
SW123: Uhh, well we were given direct XYZ and then join the arrival from there.
Appch: Ok.....(pause) So are you direct XYZ at this time?
SW: Yeah, uhhh, we're uhh direct XYZ.
Appch: Ok...well XYZ is 10 miles east of you.
(pause)
SW: Uhh, well, we just passed XYZ.
Appch: Nooo, XYZ is 10 east of you.

(long pause)
Unknown transmitter: D'oh!!!!

You could hear Appch trying to key up but cutting off with laughter in the background.
