During a VFR approach in a busy airport in mostly-Catholic Colombia, a student pilot was given landing clearance. It seemed she didn’t understand the controller.

Student: “Could you please confirm?”

Tower:Sure: I confirm you in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son…”

Of course the controller gave her the right instructions afterwards!
