One day the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, "What time is it?" The tower responded, "Who is calling?" The aircraft replied, "What difference does it make?" The tower replied, "It makes a lot of difference........If it is an American Airlines flight, it is 3 o'clock. If it is an Air Force plane, it is 1500 hours. If it is a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells. If it is an Marine Corps aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3. If it is an Army aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon and 120 minutes to Happy Hour."
