Serves him right.
A young and foolish pilot wanted to sound cool on the aviation frequencies.
This was his first time approaching a field during the night time, and instead of making any official requests to the tower, he said, "Guess who?"
The controller switched the field lights off and replied, "Guess where!"

For some reason it reminds me of my time working on the railways when we were given a specific instruction that the daily nuclear flask train (from Sizewell power station), which frequently spent time waiting alongside our station platform, must always be referred to by its official head code and NOT simply as 'The Bomb'!

Like it marval.
This reminds me also of when my brother was giving me a driving lesson.
We came to a busy junction in the road and I didn't know what to do.
In a complete panic I shouted at my brother,'What do I do?'
Cool as a cucumber he replied,'What do you think you do?'
'I've no idea' I replied,'but I know what I'm going to do,'
and with that I just got out of the car and walked away leaving him in the passenger seat in fairly heavy traffic.
