While ferrying an airplane from Michigan to Florida, we heard a friendly exchange between a male controller and a female pilot. The pilot was not having a great day and was not too happy about flying.

Controller:
“At least you have a nice view. I’m stuck in a dark room just looking at guys.”

Pilot:
“It’s not much better up here, sir.”

My female pilot and I both burst out laughing.
