Air Traffic Control received a call asking, "What time is it please?"
Tower responded, "Who is calling?"
The crew replied, "What difference does it make?"
Tower replied "It makes a lot of difference.
If it is a civilian flight, it is 3 o'clock.
If it is an Royal Air Force plane, it is 1500 hours.
If it is a Royal Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells.
If it is an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3.
If it is a Royal Marine aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon and 120 minutes to "Happy Hour".Am I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.

A woman with a clipboard approaches an airline captain and asks, "Excuse me, Sir, its a rather delicate question but we are doing a survey. Please could you tell me when you last had sex?"
"1952", he responded.
The woman blurts out, "Blimey! isn't that quite a long time ago?"
"Not really", says the Captain, "It's only just 2103 and I've got a flight at quarter past".

Was on a course at Brecon once and one of the instructors was a Marine. He told us to be back in the classroom by 2 o'clock. He went on to say that he said 2 o'clock because we were TA, if we had been regular army he would have said 14:00 Hrs. I chimed in that if we had been Marines he would have said when the big hand is on 12 and the little hand is on 2. He was not impressed
