You gotta love this one even if you've never lived in the South. Southerners can be so polite!

Atlanta Airport Control Tower

Atlanta ATC: 'Tower to Saudi Air 511 -- You are cleared to land eastbound on runway 9R
Saudi Air: 'Thank you Atlanta ATC. Acknowledge cleared to land on infidel's runway 9R - Allah be Praised.'
Atlanta ATC: 'Tower to Iran Air 711 --You are cleared to land westbound on runway 9R.'
Saudi Air: 'Thank you Atlanta ATC. We are cleared to land on infidel's runway 9R. - Allah is Great.'
Pause...
Saudi Air: 'ATLANTA ATC - ATLANTA ATC'
Atlanta ATC: 'Go ahead Saudi Air 511.'
Saudi Air: 'YOU HAVE CLEARED BOTH OUR AIRCRAFT FOR THE SAME RUNWAY GOING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS! WE ARE ON A COLLISION COURSE!! INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE.'
Atlanta ATC: 'Well bless your little hearts. And praise Jesus. Y'all be careful now and tell Allah 'hey' for us."

PUNT!!!
