Canadian talking to an American.
 

Thanks to Bui at agb for this. You might've read this before but I found it funny enough to make sure it reaches everyone...in the world...

so anyway, I'd feel kind of embarrassed. enjoy for what it is i guess.


This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. The radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid collision.

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

Canadians: Negative. You will have to 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--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 a lighthouse. Your call.

Stupid Americans. I bet they're from the east ;)

Re: Canadian talking to an American.
 

If the Canadian would've just initially said it was a light house, there wouldn't have been any disputes. With that being said, I hereby crown the American the winner. Since the Canadian was just trying to start a fight and refused to release all the details of the warning.

Re: Canadian talking to an American.
 

You're wrong, every Canadian knows that Americans are inferior to Canadians. We are better than you in every way possible.

.

Why the hell was an American ship even that close to Newfoundland? Get out of our water, bitches. Maybe they were fishing and stealing our fish supply.

Honestly I kind of doubt that the conversation is true, even a dumb person can't be that stupid. But oh well.

:rofl: funny

Re: Canadian talking to an American.
 

Its so true.

And yeah, why was an American Aircraft carrier, which was accompanied by a destryer doing off the coast of Newfoundland?

Re: Canadian talking to an American.
 

Thats why the american dollar is worth more "ehhh" :sneaky:


Anyway our ship still would have wasted your light house. =-D

Re: Canadian talking to an American.
 

Lol +rep! :D

Re: Canadian talking to an American.
 

Yes but your dollar is getting lower, and lower by the week, and there was a time when our money was worth more, Plus we are the only Country to succesfully burn down the white house!

Re: Canadian talking to an American.
 

Not to mention we've secretly been sending beavers to the states to knaw down their trees.

Re: Canadian talking to an American.
 

And not to mention the fact that Canada won the Canada/America war.

So technically, on military prowess, judging on past wars fought between the 2 countries, we are superior. :p

Re: Canadian talking to an American.
 

Yeah but they could still probably kick our ass at Nintendo.

Re: Canadian talking to an American.
 

Actually, it was the British who burned down the White House, with help from probably a couple dozen to fifty Canadian militia.

Re: Canadian talking to an American.
 

wow wow, they burned down the White House? :sneaky:
