Ok.. I can contribute a classic to this thread :P Although it says it's an actual transcript, I think it has been debunket, but funny nonetheless: -------------------------------------------- This is the transcript of the actual radio conversation of a US Naval ship with the Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in Oct 1995. Radio conversation released by 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. 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 biggest 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 undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship. Canadians: We are a lighthouse. Your call.
