ATC: “N3407 Heavy, proceed left to enter a holding pattern.”

Pilot: “The runway is directly beneath me to my right, why don’t I just go right?”

ATC: “That’s a great idea, N3407 Heavy. Proceed right to collide with FedEx 005 Heavy.”

Pilot: “…N3407 Heavy, proceeding left to enter holding pattern, over.”

ATC: “You’re a genius.”

Why would a FedEx flight be “heavy”?

ATC: “Because it’s full of packages, duh. Someone kick this noob!”
