I am amazed how quickly this Tiico conversion thread morphed into weather
patterns and international shipping long before Friday!  Well now it's
Friday!!


Here follows the transcript of a radio conversation between a US naval ship
and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October '95.  This
actually happened!


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 a US Navy Ship.  I say again, Divert Your
Course!


Canadian reply: No.  I say again, you divert YOUR course!


US Ship: This is the Aircraft Carrier US Enterprise.  We are a large warship
of the US Navy.  Divert your course NOW!!


Canadian reply: This is a light-house.  Your call.


Heh heh, eh!
