<funny story>
A friend of mine was in the Air Force in the late 1950's, stationed in Egypt. There was going to be a large, combined services parade of 15,000 men and the powers were wondering how to command them. It was suggested that a slow flying plane like an Auster could be rigged up with a public address system and flown over the ground. It would be equidistant from most people so they would hear the commands at the same time. Thus it was.
The parade was started and the men gathered on the ground in their units. The plane did a few slow flyovers and then the people on the ground heard this:
"Click."
"Let's try it. Mary had a little pig and it was always gruntin'. She took it down the garden path and kicked [expletive phrase deleted] Is that thing switched on? Oh, my God!"
"Click"
My friend says he's never seen 15,000 people crying with laughter since. </funny story>
