I was with one of my primary students, he was pretty good on the radio but pretty thick for the most part. Anyhow there is a Notam on the Atis about an unmanned rocket launch 7 miles south on the 220 radial of the VOR.

In his infinite wisdom my student makes his initial call on the ground. Lanc., ground this 41980 west ramp, information ROCKET LAUNCH. They didn't skip a beat and cleared us to the active runway but you could hear the tower cab erupt in laughter.
