the page isn't found so here's a little thing i found funny... *ahem*

This is the 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 you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a 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, 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 countermeasures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

CANADIANS:

This is a lighthouse. Your call.

So how was that? Pretty funny, right? I know!
