This is an actual radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian
authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. Radio
conversation released by the chief of naval operations, 10/10/95


CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: Recommend that you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid collision.

CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS:This is the captain of a US Navy ship, I say again, divert YOUR course.

CANADIANS: No, I say again, divert YOUR course.

AMERICANS: This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, the second
largest ship in the United States Fleet.
We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers and numerous support vessels.
I DEMAND that you change your course 15 degrees north. I say again, that's one-five degrees north, or counter-measures
will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

CANADIANS: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

No it's not.

This is an old myth that gets passed around. People just replace the nationalities with those they want to make fun of.

Yep, false but funny.

not only is it old. it isn't even that funny.

Please tell me this (the reposting of ancient crap) is someone's version of dry humor. In that case it would be very funny.

Otherwise, Fulcrum should have his Pilot's license revokerized.

This is his second time-line infraction.


Buninate him.

I don't care, I heard it a long time ago, forgot it, heard it again just now and laughed all over again.

Oldie but goldie.
