    I remember seeing something like that years ago. A few more that popped to my memory just now:

    PILOT: autopilot altitude hold has a 100 ft/min descent.
    MECHANIC: cannot reproduce issue on ground.

    PILOT: evidence of tyre leak in left main landing gear.
    MECHANIC: evidence removed.

    PILOT: [system] behaves funny.
    MECHANIC: [system] has been firmly told to get their shit together and straighten up their act.

    PILOT: strange sounds behind console. Sounds like a midget beating things with a hammer.
    MECHANIC: hammer taken from midget

        If I’m remembering right it was:

        PILOT: Headset volume is unbelievably loud.
        MECHANIC: Headset volume has been set to a more believable level.

        A few more I remember from way back when:

        PILOT: Mouse found in cockpit.
        MECHANIC: Cat installed.

        PILOT: Something loose in cockpit
        Mechanic: Something tightened in cockpit

        PILOT: Friction locks cause throttle to stick.
        MECHANIC: Good, they’re supposed to.

        (How did you get a new line without a blank line between them??? Formatting shouldn’t be this hard.)

          PILOT: dead bugs on windshield.
          MECHANIC: live bugs on back order.

          PILOT: suspect crack in windshield.
          MECHANIC: suspect you’re right.

          PILOT: number 3 engine missing.
          MECHANIC: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

          On another note, I found a version closer to The Source:
          right here

          Also, with regards to formatting, a manual line end, without the blank line in between, like a HTML tag <br />, is achieved by having two spaces just before the line break.
          Like this.
