There's a story about the military pilot calling for a priority landing, because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked." AirTraffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two, behind a B-52 that had one engine shut down. "Ah," the fighter pilot remarked, "The dreaded Seven-Engine Approach."

NIGHT LANDING
An Air Force aircraft was attempting a night landing at an auxillary field.
Pilot: "Requesting landing instruction."
Controller: "Aircraft requesting landing instruction, say again call-sign."
Pilot:"Guess who?"
At this time the airfield runway lights turn off.
Controller:"Guess where."
