The tower dude called a second time and sounded more perturbed, "state reason for go around!" I paused a few seconds before answering with "fear of death."
I also like "Car Payment"
 
What happens when a major airline captain goes around?

I'll tell you what happens. He gets on the PA and tells the folks in the back that a dog ran across the runway and he went around to save his little life. (Heard that one in PANC one day!)
 
Look at it this way. Failing to go around from an unstabilized approach may get you a trip to the local gas station or worse kill someone driving by the airport minding thier own business. Get the point????

Conincidentally, that was the airline.
