Just the other day:

Joshua Approach, "IFTA 50, last call was made for a company called South West Airlines, not you! Answer to your call sign!!"

A couple weeks ago on Regional Approach(DFW): "Plane XYZ squawk 3-6-2-4, 36-24"
Plane XYZ: "A couple of my favorite measurements, 36-24 plane XYZ"

Approach: "Oh man, I can't even repeat that!" Followed by some good chuckles.

That's funny. The FA I'm flying with this month always says that after she gives us the count.

"3, 6, 2, 5...only if she's 5'3". Now she has me saying it after she give me the count.

A few years back, I was climbing out of PHX with approach control. I heard approach issue a clearance to a Gulfstream to climb to FL230. The gulfstream captain came back and said, "Roger Climb and maintain.....Hey Don't you touch that, don't you ever touch that again, ...FL230, Gulfstream XXXXX." The controller asked if everything was alright and if he could provide any assistance. This captain replied, " Can you help me find a new CO-pilot?"
