The tower was having some difficulty working a student pilot in the pattern
and it finally came down to this;
TOWER - 95 Delta, do you read the tower?
95D - 675, sir
TOWER - 95 Delta, Say Again
95D - I think it is 675.
TOWER - 95 Delta, What do you mean by 675?
95D - I mean I think I read "Elevation 675 feet" on the tower as I taxied by
for takeoff, but I am too far away to read it now.
TOWER - 95 Delta, you are cleared to land. Please give the tower a call ON
THE TELEPHONE after you have tied down.
