Piper 123: They keep extending my route. If they keep extending my route Im going to be low on fuel. Why cant I go direct?

Potomac Approach:: Piper One Two Three, unable direct. Direc twill take you over P-40. Proceed direct Hagerstown, Victor 501, Martinsburg, then as previously cleared.

Piper 123: But if they didnt keep extending me I wouldnt get low on fuel.

Approach:: Piper One Two Three, if you feel you are low on fuel I advise you to stop somewhere and get fuel.

After two more exchanges:

Approach:: Piper One Two Three, Im not doing this to you. You cannot fly over P-40. Are you familiar with P-40? Its Camp David.

Piper 123: I know about Camp David, but I didnt see any TFRs. This is making me get low on fuel.

Approach:: Piper One Two Three, if you fly over P-40 youre not going to be worried about fuel.
