>by the US Chief of Naval Operations on 10 October 1995:
>
> NAVY: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to
> avoid a collision.
>
> CIVILIAN: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to South
> to avoid a collision.
>
> NAVY: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again,
> divert YOUR course.
>
> CIVILIAN: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
>
> NAVY: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER ENTERPRISE, WE ARE A LARGE
> WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!

> CIVILIAN: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
