"This is the actual radio" joke

This is the actual radio conversation of a US navy ship with Canadian
authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. Radio
conversation released by the chief of naval operations, 10-10-95.
Americans:
Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the south 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 US Lincoln, the second largest ship
in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied with three
Destroyers, three Cruisers and numerous support vessels. I demand that you
change your course 15 degrees north. I say again, thats one-five degrees
north, or counter-measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this
ship.
Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
