Change your course now
This is the transcript of an 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 on November 10, 1995.

Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Recommend you 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 COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Cute story.




(But everyone can rest assured that the US Navy does know how to navigate and this is just a cute story.)

French-Canadians are so damn annoying.

Fixed it there.

LOL.

That's funny, you know I find it most interesting that you don't know the difference between french and Canadian. You are actually closer to being french geographically than I am. With Kentucky and Louisiana being right at your door step.

Look through some of the info you find in here. The United States has more french than Canada. Don't take my word for it. There are "Millions"
And then there are the Mexican, wow! You are living a a true multicultural society Dan. You just have to put the banjo down for a little while and do some travelling. You would be amazed at how many French and Mexican people I meet on a regular basis. Unfortunately I don't live close enough to them to hang out with for any time.

I bet if you paid off your credit cards and move d out of your moms basement you would find that the world is actually very exciting outside of your little comfort zone, I know I did, I still collect my mail and file my taxes from Texas.

Where do you think that the word Bourbon comes from. It is french...

I am sure you can appreciate a good whiskey, I am more of a Scoch fan mind you.

[D Chapman]

I don't drink bourbon. I drink Rum.

French people stink. You, on the other hand, are a dumbass. So, you must be Canadian. Or Dutch.
