This is the transcript of the actual radio conversation of a U.S.
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 U.S. 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, 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.

Fekason, does it really matter who its taking the piss out of? it could be aussies and kiwis and itd still be funny. burning the yanks as well is just a little bonus

good joke, i like it, i like it alot

[Fekason]

Okay, point taken. I agree that it is funny, but I prefer blonde jokes. Oh, and Kiwi jokes.

Do you know why they bury people 12 foot under in NZ rather than 6 foot?

Because deep down they are really nice people.

Do you know why they bury Kiwi's one foot under in Australia?

Because even when they are dead, they still expect their hand out!

a joke is a joke and that isnt a bad one
