Overheard in IFR Magazine's "On the Air"

I heard this on the air between a Bonanza and Kansas City Center:

Center:
"Bonanza One Alpha Bravo, turn right 20 degrees, vector for MOA."

Bonanza:
"Sorry. I didn't know it was hot tonight. How low does it go? Maybe I could just go under it."

Center:
"Well, it's a military bombing range. If they drop one, I guess it will go all the way to the ground."
