It was a foggy night at the old Chicago Airport (now Midway), and several airliners were awaiting their turn to land. However, a new controller was being allowed to handle the traffic, and he was having problems getting them all lined up properly. He had to send two around while trying to get the others in line, and the captains were getting madder by the minute. Finally, one captain growled, "This is a bunch of bullshit." This completely unnerved the novice controller, and he shouted, "Who said that?"

A long silence, then came the replies:

"TWA 47, negative on the bullshit."

Chicago and Southern 12, negative on the bullshit."

American 207, "Negative on the bullshit."

Northwest 33, "Negative on the bullshit."

By this time the controller had become completely unglued, and was led away in tears, and a veteran controller, after broadcasting that since all concerned were in agreement, they would now proceed with the approaches. Which he, and they, did.
