A C-130 inbound to a Joint Mil/Civ airport. The Pilot asks ATC, "What local time is it ?" Tower asks, "Are you a Military or Civilian & if Military, what branch ?" The Pilot asks, "What difference does that make ?" Tower replies , "If you are Civilian it is 4pm, if you are USAF it is 1600 hours, if you are NAVY its 8 bells, if ARMY then Micky's little hand is on the 4 and his big hand is on the 12, if you are USMC, then its Thursday afternoon & the bar isn't open for another half hour."
