	I'll admit that you can hear some pretty amazing lines from
	the tower, but I've also heard a few good ones from the 
	pilots, too. 

	As an example ...

	A few years ago I was working local control at an airport
	which had a squandron of ANG RF-4's stationed there.  It was
	in the evening and a training flight of 2 F-4's was recovering
	when the east arrival controller informed me that they would 
	be entering a 6 mile initial.  Shortly there after, the flight 
	came up on tower freq and reported initial.   As was customary 
	when dealing with fighters who often made multiple practice 
	approaches, I responded,

		"Banshi05, tower, say type landing and intentions after."

	The F-4 jock barked his reply,

		"Full stop ... drink beer."
