jstan - You know... As a belayer.... It is important that this comment/question be yelled while the leader is in the middle of the crux.
gotta keep'em wondering...

On a handcrack,from me belaying;
"OK, you're right at the spot where the black widow was last week".
While jugging the haul line on the last pitch of zodiac;
"HURRY UP!"
"Why?"
"YOUR LINE IS CHOPPING!"
Thank you Jesus I was on the Chouinard & not the Edelrid!

Mighty-- yeah, just giving you a hard time for stating the obvious. Classic goat behavior. Gotta live up to the moniker, right?

At the end of Marginal's second pitch, traversing toward the belay bolt in 1972 (wearing RR's, for those old enough to remember them), leader began to slip and yelled "Falling!" as he kept sliding toward an inevitable 40-foot fall. Belayer: "You call that a Fall? Get falling or I won't bother holding you."
On the Grack's right side, last pitch, about the same time. Belayer to strung-out leader: "See this knife? If you fall, I'm not going with you!"
Names of characters deleted to protect the guilty, but the two parties were composed of entirely different people.

In college, when I was about 50' up, my belayer said, "I have been meaning to tell you… your girlfriend gives really good head."
True story!

Sorta kinda plausible maybe scenario...
Mrs. McMaidup, in Patched Patagonia Pants: I THOUGHT it went out that way, dear. But it's been ages. I was wearing these pants, though, I remember that much.
McM, wearing really ugly gym shorts from college over lycra leggings: I THINK you were wrong about the route, sweet-sweet. Just keep me on belay, darling. You're probably right, like you always are.
Sponsortaneous mind thinkies happen at belay stances constantly. It's called daydreaming.
Daydreaming on belays is hazardous. Daydream on belays at no time.
Or did he really mean "thing?"
I didn't know what to think, etc.

After he is 35+ feet out my friend says "Is that your rack sitting on the ground?"
Silence for a good 3 count.
Leader says "Yep, just tie it to the lead rope and I'll haul it up"
