I think sometimes we all need to be reminded to laugh a little. I've posted a nice joke in case anyone drops by who hasn't laughed in a while.
ACTUAL radio conversation between the
British and the Irish off the coast of Kerry ,
Ireland October 1998. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-98
IRISH: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
BRITISH: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.
IRISH: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
BRITISH: This is the Captain of a British Navy Ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
IRISH: Negative. I say again, you will have to divert YOUR course.
BRITISH: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER HMS BRITIANNIA; THE SECOND LARGEST
SHIP IN THE BRITISH ATLANTIC FLEET! WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS,
THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS! WE DEMAND YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH! I SAY AGAIN, THAT IS 15 DEGREES NORTH OR
COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP!
IRISH: We are a lighthouse................
Your Call.
