I know this one to be true...I was there. El Paso has a 'high approach' (known as penetration approaches)for the military and the initial approach fix is "fanny" 20 miles se of ELP. A lady controller was busy and clipped her phraseology "Talon one cleared for penetration at fanny" and then in the ensuing silence an anonomous pilot keyed the mike and said "Ah, center, we'd like one of those too."
