heres my favorite (its also the number one joke in Canada for obvious reasons!)
This is radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland. Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees South to avoid a collision. Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees North to avoid collision. Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees 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 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, I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP!!!!. Canadians: This is the Lighthouse.......Your call.

That one's been around for a long time... some thirty to forty years, according to Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/military/lighthse.htm). Apparently, enough people think it might be real...
BTW, Dude, there is a general discussions board where things like this are really supposed to go. That helps keep the topic-specific boards (like the W&W forum) on their topics, and helps make sure they don't wander all over into something else. You might want to post this up there.

This does belong over in the General Discussions rather than here.
I'll move it there a little later unless Dude tells me here that he's already started it over there. Wyv |
