Most definately a repost, but worth a re-run as someone just emailed it to me 
The following is the transcript of an actual radio conversation in
October 1995, between a US Navy ship and The British authorities, off
the Scottish North coast. The transcript was released by the MoD on
10/10/95.
BRITISH: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South, to avoid
collision.
US Navy: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the North to
avoid a collision.
BRITISH: Negative.You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to
the South to avoid a collision.
US Navy: This is the Captain of US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR
course.
BRITISH: Negative. I say again. You will have to divert your course.
US NAVY: 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. DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
BRITISH: We are a lighthouse. Your call.

code: The following is being transmitted around the Internet as an event that really took place, but it never happened. It is simply an old joke like those found in popular magazines:
US mil again covering their craps 
even if it's false, i believe in it like the pentagon 747 crash

what way was the ship sailing if it had to adjust its course 15 degrees to the south?
surely the ship should go north
