A British airways plane had landed in Munich and the pilot was having trouble finding the gate assigned to him. The ATC got frustrated with the pilot and asked him very loudly, “Sir, have you ever been to Munich before?” The pilot responded, “Yes sir, I have. In 1944. And I didn’t land here.”
After some silence the ATC told the pilot to take his time.
Hahaha...I told someone today about this discussion, and he brought up that exact same anecdote!
