Canadian Lighthouse VS USS Missouri
You can just see it happening...

This is a transcript of a radio conversation between a US Naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland. I understand that there's actually a full transcript of this conversation lurking about somewhere. If anyone has is, send it to me!

US SHIP: Please divert your course 0.5 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

CANADIAN REPLY: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

US SHIP: This is the Captain of the US Navy Ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

CANADIAN REPLY: No, I say again, divert YOUR course!

US SHIP: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS MISSOURI. WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW OR WE WILL TAKE APPROPRIATE AND DRASTIC MEASURES!!!!

CANADIAN REPLY: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

I couldve swore this was too retarded to be real. lol

Damn that would've been hilarious if it was real.

The reply: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Gave it away to me. I really don't think that is how they would say it, because that is said to be funny, not something in a serious matter.

yeah i believed it up until the end

[thrash]

I donno. Canadians are pretty laid back, especially in the face of Americans throwing their weight around. Seems like a plausible response to me
