Top stuff, cheered me (stuck in work) up!

O'Hare Approach: USA212, cleared ILS runway 32L approach, maintain 250 knots.
USA212: Roger approach, how long do you need me to maintain that speed?
O'Hare Approach: All the way to the gate if you can.

USA212: Ah, OK, but you better warn ground control.

(the above one wins for me)

I think this one is my favourite.

Student Pilot: 'I'm lost; I'm over a big lake and heading toward the big E.'
Controller: 'Make several 90 degree turns so I can identify you on radar.'

(short pause)... Controller: 'Okay then. That big lake is the Atlantic Ocean . Suggest you turn to the big W immediately .'

My fav "Control: 'No, but if you ask your co-pilot, he can probably tell you."
or
"
Controller: AF123, say call sign of your wingman.
Pilot: Uh... approach, we're a single ship.
Controller: oh, oh ****! You have traffic! "

But the winner is http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=125388
