Yeah, we had one similar to that one on our field the other day. I'll translate it. Original was german:
ASK21(Glider): Uetersen Segelflug, D-0721-Heavy, could you please get on the phone, I'd like to get towed! (There was nobody talking to the winch at that moment)
EDHE: 21 Heavy?
A21: I got my wife aboard...
EDHE: OK D-0721 heavy, I'll Kontakt the winch for ya!
It was a pretty good laugh for us all. I was flying and almost messed up cause I was laughing...

Ummm. Actually the "shortcuts" referred to in the above posts refer to "career shortcuts" due to race, gender, nationality, etc. (Affirmative Action).
When you talk about or hear the word "shortcut" on the radio ("Center, Southwest 234, how about a shortcut today?"), the aircraft calling is looking for direct to a point down the road.

Ugh, This is gonna get ugly. Let's either carry -that- particular discussion to another thread or drop it all together. I don't want this long running, light hearted, often hilarious thread getting closed or off topic with a debate on sexism.

A Piper Warrior decided to try to beat out two King Airs that had already picked up their IFR clearances by departing VFR on a marginal Day.
Warror xxx: Good morning Center, departed VFR would like to pick up our clearance.
Center: Uh, I have two King Airs that I need to get out first. Maintain VFR and I'll get back to you.
Warrior xxx: Uhhh ok. Well I'm in the clouds now. Should I descend?
Center: Affirmative, and I have a phone number when you are ready to copy.
