Short Final

On a recent trip to visit my inlaws, I was passing by an airport on my way when I heard this exchange:

Cessna1234:Tower, Cessna 1234 is ready for takeoff.

Tower: Cessna 1234 you are cleared for takeoff Runway 24. Say direction of flight.

Cessna 1234: Cleared for takeoff Runway 24, Direction of Flight.

Tower: Which way are you heading?

Cessna 1234: Oh! Heading southeast.
