Another airline joke:
Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on
124.7." (124.7 would be the radio frequency for Departure
Control).

Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure... By
the way, after we lifted off, we saw some kind of dead animal
on the far end of the runway."

Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure
on 124.7; did you copy the report from Eastern?"

Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff. Roger;
and yes, we copied Eastern and we've already notified our
caterers."
