While taxiing at   London  's   Gatwick    Airport  , the crew of a   US  Air flight departing for  Ft.  Lauderdale
made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727.
An irate female ATC ground controller lashed out at the   US  Air crew, screaming:

Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, "What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?"
The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: "I made it out of DC-8 parts.
Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one."
