A way PA requests can get a good laugh from people is if other teams join in. At Wisconsin this year, we asked for permission to buzz the tower, which got the other part of the line from another team.

I think most teams understand this, and when everybody gets in on it, it only makes things more fun and less stressful. I completely agree that inspection time is off-limits, but those moments after a good PA request when the pits burst out with laughter are absolutely priceless.
