Those are funny.

I was looking through the squawk resolution log for one of the C-172's I'm learning in, and saw some similar funny stuff. I'll see if I can find them...

OK, not as funny as the OP, but they at least make me smile a little...

Observation - OBS key can removed while on rt mag (hot mag) -unsafe
MX Reply - Kill engine with mixture...danger of hot mag minimal: with out fuel the engine won't run. Turn key off.

Observation - (obs) no fuel stick. #7172
MX Reply - Please search the plane...

Observation - (obser) left door hinge wont stay propped open, right leather seat belt connection broken slight bald spot on right main tire
MX Reply - Quit complaining its getting old. This is the cheapest SP you can spend more if you like. Aircraft is Airworthy

There were multiple observations for the key coming out of the ignition and the door hinge. I just posted the replies where MX was obviously a little tired of responding.
