Air Traffic Controller<\/b><\/p>\n
I was an air-traffic controller stationed at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan. One morning we picked up a Montana National Guard passenger aircraft. Instead of identifying the plane by its five-digit tail number, its pilot radioed, \u201cSelfridge Approach, this is Pig Sty One.\u201d As we were taught to refer to aircraft by whatever call sign the pilot used, the controller thereafter called the craft \u201cPig Sty One.\u201d Just after touching down, the pilot contacted the tower.<\/p>\n
\u201cSelfridge,\u201d he said, \u201cour call sign is not \u2018Pig Sty one.\u201d It is \u2018Big Sky One,\u2019 and we have the governor of Montana on board!\u201d<\/p>\n

Not Today<\/b><\/p>\n

Money Back Guarantee<\/b><\/p>\n
All publishers receive strange letters from readers, but this one to the Christian Science Monitor is a classic: <\/p>\n
Dear Sir: When I subscribed a year ago you stated that if I was not satisfied at the end of the year I could have my money back. Well, I would like to have it back. On second thought, to save you the trouble, you may apply it on my next year\u2019s subscription.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Bird House<\/b><\/p>\n
A \u201cdo it yourself\u201d catalog firm received the following letter from one of its customers: \u201cI built a birdhouse according to your stupid plans, and not only is it much too big, it keeps blowing out of the tree. Signed, Unhappy. <\/p>\n
The firm replied: \u201cDear Unhappy, We\u2019re sorry about the mix-up. We accidentally sent you a sailboat blueprint. But if you think you are unhappy, you should read the letter from the guy who came in last in the yacht club regatta.\u201d<\/p>\n

Washington Territory Statehood<\/b><\/p>\n
When the Washington Territory was ready for statehood in 1889, there was a proposal to call it Columbia, in honor of the mighty Columbia River. Legislators rejected the idea in the fear that our 42nd state would then be confused with the District of Columbia. So they stuck with their original choice, and named it Washington.<\/p>\n

Sunday Paper<\/b><\/p>\n
A teacher was handed the following note by one of her students: <\/p>\n
\u201cDear Teacher, Please excuse Harriet for missing school yesterday. We forgot to get the Sunday paper off the porch, and when we found it on Monday, we thought it was Sunday.\u201d <\/p>\n

Dead or Alive<\/b><\/p>\n
Harry Truman enjoyed telling about the man who was hit on the head at work. The blow was so severe he was knocked unconscious for an extended period of time. His family, convinced he was dead, called the funeral home and asked the local undertaker to pick hum up at the hospital, which he did. <\/p>\n
Early the following morning this dear man suddenly awoke and sat straight up in the casket. Confused, he blinked several times and looked around, trying to put the whole thing together. He thought, \u201cIf I\u2019m alive, what in the world am I doing in this soft, satin-filled box? And if I\u2019m dead, why do I have to go to the bathroom?\u201d<\/p>\n
