Climbing out of my home airport with our friendly (and funny) tower controllers, I heard:
Tower: Cardinal XYZ, check transponder.
XYZ: Turning it on, sorry, guys, XYZ.
Tower: Cardinal XYZ, never admit your mistakes on frequency, just say it was warming up.
XYZ: All warmed up! XYZ.
Tower: That’s the spirit.
