Heard on the Radio

Sometimes we hear funny things on the aircraft radio, and sometimes we hear things that mean very different things depending on the word order. Here is an example that I overheard while departing from Seattle on one of my recent flights:

Pilot: How's the ride on the arrival?
Controller: Occasional reports of light chop. Uh, let me rephrase that: reports of occasional light chop.

Radio conversations sometimes make you laugh, too. Aviatrix, over on Cockpit Conversation, has a link to this thread on AirlinePilotCentral: "What's the funniest thing you ever heard over the radio?" Check it out!
