AT SEA -- The text of a naval radio conversation follows:

PARTY 1: "Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision."

PARTY 2: "Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to South to avoid a collision."

PARTY 1: "This is the captain of a U.S. Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course."

PARTY 2: "No, sir. You will have to divert YOUR course."

PARTY 1: "THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER ENTERPRISE, WE ARE A VERY LARGE WARSHIP OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY. DIVERT YOUR
COURSE NOW."

PARTY 2: "Well, we are a lighthouse. Your call."

Ahoy y'all!
Margaret
