Missed the beginning of this exchange, but you'll get the point, I hope:
Airplane 345:
"We carry the University of XYZ men's basketball team."
Center:
"Ah, roger. I was just wondering about your call sign ... ."
345:
"We don't like it any better than anyone else."
Center (laughing) :
"Do [your players] wear pink uniforms?"
345:
"Don't go there, Center."
Center (resuming a serious tone) :
"Roger."
[pause]
"Twinkles Three Forty Five, fly heading 230, descend and maintain 4,000."
