This reminds me of a story I read once about some airline that was well regarded for its adept mechanic/technician workforce. They would have sassy inspection notes like

Pilot: Front left tire almost needs replacing
Mechanic: Almost replaced front left tire.

I remember seeing something like that years ago. A few more that popped to my memory just now:

PILOT: autopilot altitude hold has a 100 ft/min descent.
MECHANIC: cannot reproduce issue on ground.

PILOT: evidence of tyre leak in left main landing gear.
MECHANIC: evidence removed.

PILOT: [system] behaves funny.
MECHANIC: [system] has been firmly told to get their shit together and straighten up their act.

PILOT: strange sounds behind console. Sounds like a midget beating things with a hammer.
MECHANIC: hammer taken from midget

There was something about the speaker being at an unbelievable volume as well?

If I'm remembering right it was:

PILOT: Headset volume is unbelievably loud.
MECHANIC: Headset volume has been set to a more believable level.

A few more I remember from way back when:

PILOT: Mouse found in cockpit.
MECHANIC: Cat installed.

PILOT: Something loose in cockpit
Mechanic: Something tightened in cockpit

PILOT: Friction locks cause throttle to stick.
MECHANIC: Good, they're supposed to.

(How did you get a new line without a blank line between them??? Formatting shouldn't be this hard.)

PILOT: dead bugs on windshield.
MECHANIC: live bugs on back order.

PILOT: suspect crack in windshield.
MECHANIC: suspect you're right.

PILOT: number 3 engine missing.
MECHANIC: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

On another note, I found a version closer to The Source:
right here

Also, with regards to formatting, a manual line end, without the blank line in between, like a HTML tag <br />, is achieved by having two spaces just before the line break.
Like this.

YOU

You're
Welcome
😉👍

Why is that, though? Why not line break where I've entered a line break?
Two spaces can be a pain on mobile

Heck if I know.
