When I turn out the light, I've got to hand it to me,
Looks like it's you and me again tonight, Rosie...

The Delta 757 that landed on 9L at FLL and told to expedite runway exit, with an aircraft in position/hold and a AA on a 4 mile final. Expedite doesn't mean take your sweet time rolling slowly ALL the way to the end and turning off. Yes, I realize that's where your gate is, but still. Some people get this whole "when I'm cleared to land, that means the whole runway" mentality stuck in their head. That roaring noise above their heads was the AA that had to go around.
And yes he was taxiing on the runway at taxi speed, it wasn't like it was still in a deceleration state on the runway.

This is true. Especially at National. In their defense, perhaps they're doing the right thing instead of rushing off a runway to please a bunch of amped up and stressed out tower controllers.

10. You told me to raise the flaps, so I reached for the biggest knob I could find.
9. I was "going solo in the pattern."
8. I do this for currency, don't want my skills to erode from lack of use.
7. I do this for currency. So, can I have $10?
6. FAA told us to keep up our "stick and rudder skills." You can manipulate the rudder.
5. This isn't hockey, so there ain't no penalty for high-sticking.
4. Do you know the origin of the term, "balls to the wall?"
3. Do you know the origin of the term, "cockpit?" It is a funny story...
2. That cloud looked exactly like my ex-wife nude. I used to call her "thunderhead."
And the top response for this situation:
1. I was about to have a greaser, but you just made me slam her down.

Top 10 replies to make after being caught. Feel free to use any of these in an emergency.
