my favorite said to me:  

we were flying our Tiger just s. of CVG.  Cincinnati approach
was firing out instructions "Comair 123, this" "Comair 234, that"
"Comair 345, the other thing".  Then they said "Comair 74624,
contact Indy approach on xxx.xx"  "Um, if that was for Grumman
74624, Indy xxx.xx, g'day" but I had the hardest time not cracking
up as I ack'd.  I'm sure the controller didn't realize what he'd 
said, but all 3 of us heard it.  See, Comair flies Grummans for
those really *small* markets.
