I’ve run across this in forms of email and webpages several times in the past years, and it always makes me laugh whether true or not! I thought I would share it with you.
A radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland:
Americans:
Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.
Canadians:
Recommend you 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, you divert YOUR course.
Americans:
THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT’S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
Canadians:
This is a lighthouse. Your call.
I’ve always liked that one, too.
lol…i like that one too…i get a kick out of it because i’m have canadian half american..lol…
You know what’s funny? If someone goes to your Xanga, they’re redirected to your blogspot, which in turn redirects them here.
It kinda reminds me of that one blond joke.
Yes well, what is one going to do? You can at least follow the time line effectively! Besides - what are you doing still going to my xanga? That’s a funny joke too…
