Default Idiot with stuck mic in BTV on 05/18

I was tempted to post this in the regional forum since I'm convinced that's who it was, but just in case it's not....

Some knucklehead thought he'd crack a few jokes over the PA (maybe a repo flight), but they were transmitted on BTV tower freq instead. Bravo to whoever you are and thanks for the laugh...

You've never had a stuck mic before?

I know you're being sarcastic, but you do realize you're asking someone that flies 30 year old GA aircraft for a living, don't you?

"Stuck mic" is giving the offender wayyyy more credit than he deserves. It's clearly a switch error. He thinks he's talking on the interphone (I hope - otherwise he has seriously bad judgment on top of not being able to operate his comm equipment).
You can hear the mic cut-out when he stops his transmission. If he were truly stuck mic, there would still be ambient noise like movement or breathing possibly and you wouldn't hear the transmission click off.

If his lines to pick up women are as outdated and pathetic as his joke bank, then this kid is probably still wondering when he will lose his virginity.

Oh 9kbud was just kidding, he's a 9k-er like me. Actually I think he was watching tv in the next room when he typed that...
