Was on my way home---Stinson Field in San Antonio---from the north, VFR, with flight following. ATC called traffic at my 12 to 1 o'clock, 5 miles, maneuvering at 1,000', just south of the Tower of Americas, also headed for Stinson, an airship. It was a clear afternoon and visibility was great, so the airship was an easy spot. With Stinson and my traffic in sight, they cleared me down to 2,500'.
Just as I'm starting my descent, a Cessna---also headed for Stinson, but from the west and much closer to Stinson AND the airship---makes the following call:
"Approach, Cessna 1234A... I've got Stinson now, but I still don't see the airship."
Approach, without missing a beat, says to ME:
"N8702T, would you like to turn back north and land International instead?"

The weather in CMH is light winds, clear skies and a tempature of 75 degrees. It is a short flight and we are expecting some bumps along the way, so we will keep the seatbelt sign on through-out the flight. Thank you for choosing XXX Airlines for your travel needs today. It looks like we will be number one for takeoff, Beth be seated for departure."
And at that point I realized my goof. The tower complemented me on a nice little speech however.

I think it's designed that way to make it hard to unintentionally include that PAX in your cockpit conversation about sex, booze, and FA's on the last layover...
Pilots really talk about that stuff in the cockpit?

Going to Vegas on Ted.
Captain: "Any chance direct fuzzy?"
ATC: "Negative, the MOA is hot, only participating target aircraft allowed."
Captain: "Well, what do we have to do to participate."
ATC: "Uh..No, negative, that was just a joke sir."
Captain: "I was hoping you would let us dogfight some of those F-16's"
