Overuse of phonetic alphabets in radio call

In radio call, phonetic alphabets are commonly used for communication and also served as security purposes. One such example is Tango Yankee, which means TY or Thank You.

Let's look at the dialogue below whereby people become too creative.

Sergeant: 57 to 00, your new location would be at MGR 1234 5678, over.
Trainee: 00 to 57, we will be back ASAP with the items you want, over.
Sergeant: 57 to 00, Tango Yankee, over.
Trainee: 00 to 57, Yankee Whiskey, over.
Sergeant: Erm, what is Yankee Whiskey??? Over.
Trainee: You're welcome, over.
Sergeant: 57 to 00, you owe me 20 (push ups), out.
Other stations: (roflmao)

Lol!!! Looking forward to more interesting stuffs, until next time.

Ciao
