Sumpti dum est hic apportavit legato alacrem.

(French scholar folklore: Son petit domestique apporta
vite les gâteaux à la crème).

In the Assimil Method for Latin (Le latin sans peine,
C.Desessard), there is a very useful description of
dialogue for a plane landing in New York. It goes
like:

- Haec est aëronavis 'Alpha Delta' vocans Novi Eboraci
aëroportum ! Quemadmodum me audis ?
- Aëronavis 'Alpha Delta' a Novi Eboraci aëroportu: te
valde et clare audio. Unde venis et quo vadis ?
- Novum Eboracum ab A.D.: Londinio Novum Eboracum,
altitudine pedum triginta milia, cursu duo, septem,
quinque), in nubibus volans.
- A.D. a N.E.: Radari contingeris...
etc, etc.

But we'd better no joke on that subject by now, I
don't want to end in jail...
