I got tagged with that one in The Bahamas!!
Tower: "N206XX, Line up and wait"
Me: "N206XX, I am number one in line, ready for takeoff"
Tower: "Yes Sir, Line up and wait, traffic departing"
Me: "Yes, Ma'am, I am already in line, number one now, ready for take-off"
Tower: "N206LB, if you're ready for takeoff, line up and wait, or taxi clear of the holding area"
Me: "N206XX is ready to go, and - Ooohhhhhh . . . line up and wait"
Long, long silence . . .
