I think you missed the joke - it was likely the guard guy that was fooling around with Delta "authorizing" their push on guard, and then finally saying "you're on guard". At least that's how I read it.
All guard police are tools and that is a nationwide thing in my experience.

Above FL180 and airline ops, I'd rank the "blocked" behavior as pretty disciplined. Most guys are too lazy to say it and know any additional syllables crap up a busy frequency. There are times when ATC is really busy and one can tell that they don't realize their last clearance was blocked, and as mentioned, is followed by a "listen up" bark as if the call sign was ignored and not blocked.
Yeah, us low flyers will occasionally get TEC but usually I'm talking to center especially when high but still below the flight levels. The blaaaccccked people are mostly doing it on approach freqs. One day I'll record it and put it on youtube, some of the really bad stuff I'm sure you'll agree the "blaaacccckkkeedd" was not helping at all.
