Overheard in IFR Magazine's "On the Air"

Overheard on Baltimore approach frequency:

Approach:
"Cessna 1234B, what code are you squawking?"

Cessna:
"We're squawking [CODE]. Is everything O.K.?"

Approach:
"Cessna 34B, you're inside Class B air space, you don't have a clearance to enter Class B, and you're squawking the wrong code. Other than that, everything is just fine."
