Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."

Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."

The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.

Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"

Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."

Ground (with quite arrogant impatience):

"Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"

Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark,... and I didn't land."

Reportedly heard on Frankfurt Ground Freq:

(In German): "Lufthansa 1234, request start up and taxi instructions"

Frankfurt: "Ask me again in English and and I'll give you permission."

1234: "Ground, 1234 is a German aircraft, at a German airport, with a German pilot. Why can't we speak in German?"

Cue clipped English accent over R/T: "Because you lost the bloody war!"
