GOOD STUFF
Apparently right after a military C-5 Galaxy landed and cleared the active, it taxied by a Boeing 747 that was holding short of the runway. The Galaxy captain, knowing how much larger his aircraft was, keyed the mic and asked the 747 captain "Hey little buddy, what's your gross?".

Not to be outdone, the 747 captain keyed his mic and replied, "A little over two hundred thousand dollars a year, how about you?"
