Short runway, shorter fuse, and usually carrying less animated cargo…
Tower: Understand you’re without cargo today. If you’re light, cleared for runway 6.
N1234: All I have on board is my wife … and she’s heavy, but not THAT heavy.
(pause)
Tower: Roger N1234, and she’s flying with you, now?
N1234: Yep, she’s got her headset on and is punching the heck out of me.Cleared to land runway 6, N1234.
Tower: Copy. …We’ll roll the trucks.
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:

- Upon hearing his comment, the pilot's wife begins punching him while still onboard the aircraft.
- Air traffic control humorously responds to the situation by stating they will "roll the trucks," implying the pilot is in domestic trouble.
