The American League Championship series between Cleveland and Boston began on a Friday night. Early the next morning, after an IFR handoff to Boston Center, the pilot of a Boston-bound aircraft posed the all-important question:
Piper 123:
Sox win last night?
Boston Center:
Yeah!
Piper 123:
That’s too bad.
[thoughtful pause]
Piper 123:
You’re not going to make us hold now, are you?
Boston Center:
Probably not – but just remember, I’m not paying for the gas!
