Overheard in IFR Magazine's "On the Air"

Into Tampa, Florida at night, I overheard the controller misspeak to the airliner ahead of me in the line-up for landing:

Tower:
"Airline 123, you're number three of two — wait, that's number two of three. Sorry."

Airliner:
"That's okay, five out of three pilots have dyslexia, anvway."
