Anyway, I heard these two on the air this week:
(Scene 1: it's night over Las Vegas, information hotel is current and
mooney 33W is unfamiliar and talking to approach control)
Approach: 33W confirm you have hotel.
33W: Uhhhmm, we're flying into McCarren International. Uhhhmm, we don't
have a hotel room yet.
approach control was laughing too hard to respond. The next several
calls went like this:
Approach: United 5, descend to FL220.
United 5: United 5 down to FL220; we don't have a hotel room either.
