Queenslanders can be so polite!    Cairns   Tower  : "Saudi Air 511 - You are cleared to land on runway 9R."  Saudi  Air : "Thank you  Cairns . Acknowledge cleared to land on infidel's runway 9R - Allah be Praised."  Cairns  Tower   : " Iran Air 711 - You are cleared to land on runway 27L."  Iran   Air : "Thank you  Cairns . We are cleared to land on infidel's runway 27L. - Allah is Great."  Pause....  Saudi  Air :  " CAIRNS TOWER - CAIRNS TOWER !"  Cairns   Tower  : "Go ahead Saudi Air 511..."  Saudi  Air : "YOU HAVE  CLEARED BOTH OUR AIRCRAFT FOR THE SAME RUNWAY GOING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. WE ARE ON A COLLISION COURSE . ... .. .. .. INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE!"    Cairns Tower  : "Well bless your hearts, and praise Jesus. Proceed to your destination and tell Allah we said hi."
