Last month I was flying a discovery flight. I was about a mile out on final at our home base (tower knew me well) when a taildragger called tower holding short. Here is what followed.

Taildragger: "Taildragger 123", holding short 17R.

Tower: Taildragger 123 hold short, traffic on final.

Taildragger: Holding, traffic in sight... He is the one thats low on final right?

Me: We're not low, we were just planning on landing today.

Tower keys the mic and all we can hear are the controllers laughing.

Not the funniest of all the posts but it sticks out in my mind.
