Can't. Help. Too. Funny.

From the same thread noted in the previous entry.
(By the way, first multi lesson on Monday and first XC as a private pilot immediately after. Wish me luck.)
-------
During my long cross-country I landed at a Class D airport and exited the runway. When I contacted Ground I said something like:
Me: "XYZ Ground Comanche N1234C is at runway 32 Intersection um, er, well the sign says "C" but I can't remember what I'm supposed to call it and I'd really like to taxi to parking"
Ground: "Maybe I can help. Do you suppose it means cactus?"
Me: "No, I don't think that's it"
Ground: "OK, how about one of these: Cookie, caramel, crabby, cranberry, or California?
Me: "I don't think any of those sound right. Did I mention that I'm a student pilot?"
Ground: "That would be Charlie. Please proceed to parking"
