Friend of mine was flying Captain of a 727 from A to B. The female ATC controller called them 3-4 times without a response.
She then loudly transmits "Airline 123, are you listening to me?"
He replies "Yes ma'am, we hear you."
She very sarcastically says "I called you 3-4 times and you didn't respond. Listen up!"
Without any delay he comes back with "I'm sorry ma'am, you sounded so much like my wife I was just naturally ignoring you."
A pause of 15 seconds occurs, then a male controller comes on and says "Roger Airline 123, I understand" with laughter in the background.
True story as verified by his co-pilot.
