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.

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.

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.

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!
