I have regularly asked for a 666 call sign when I am mad at my company. Also asked for 420. Got a good laugh out of that one every time I checked in. Told the controller when asked about the unusual call sign that the company was always looking for new ways to generate income. I am based in a state that is 420 “friendly”.

Yes I am happily a TOTD.
