Taken from this months issue of Pro Pilot magazine
Fast talk, no breaks, runway
incursion risk at ORD?
Chicago O'Hare ground controllers issue taxi instructions to as many as
10 aircraft without a break. They do this at machine gun speed and if you
miss or don't fully understand the instructions the first time, your in
trouble. (You become the black sheep.) It's crazy that controllers - and everyone else - hurry just to arrive at your runway with 20 airplanes ahead of you. Why hurry and wait? Why risk a runway incursion? Why not wait for each pilot to read back the instructions. This is an unnecessary situation.

WAAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAA
Being a pilot whom flew in and out of ORD for two years, when I read this I had to laugh. I think I remember this poor guy wandering around the airport wondering why ground has told everyone but the King Air "STOP" or telling everyone "don't folow the King Air"
Just thought it was funny!
Cheers
