When, instead of replying 10-4, ect., the dispatcher receives an "okey dokey" confirmation. And yes, it really has happened....I heard it myself over the radio :roll: . I almost died of embarrassment.

"Unit 3 to base, c'mon?"

(Oops, that actually was me, during the 1970s CB radio craze!)

What about when your partner says they recognize someone and then asks the person "Who's your ma and pa?" And when they answer, your partner knows who they are....

Notice it says MA AND PA, not parents, not mom and dad, but nothing like a reasonable facsimile of the English language.

Leastwise, it is NOT asking for the names of the mater and pater (pronounced may-ter and pay-ter).

Then, there was the time my partner gave an acknowledgement in imitation of the "Little Rascals"/"Our Gang Comedies" character, "Buckwheat", saying over the radio, "Otay, Pankey!"

( I still am asking, why a fish finder?)

I'll ask again: Why a Fish finder?

Well, since a Redneck Fish Finder is usually stick of dynamite, I'd say there would be lots of incentive to stay "clear". It would also supply quite a shock!

We have a tanker operator that actually contacted dispatch and said "Better take the biscuts out of the oven and turn down the stove, we're going to be here awhile."

Listening to him always keeps us laughing.

The fish finder has got to be converted to make a EKG monitor rednecks can be very creative.
