Americans vs canadians

[delta4s]

This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation of a US
naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of
Newfoundland in October, 1995.

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

Canadians: Recommend you 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, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL
BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: We are a lighthouse. Your call.

Wow... I hear so many of these weird stories and 90% of the time... they involve Americans... (not trying to be racist or anything).
Just wondering if there are any recorded stories involving other people. lol

 

[Unleashed]

It's not racism... it's xenophobia.

 

[SPeedY_B]

Haha, that's genius

An oldie but goodie

what the story didnt say is that we invaded the lighthouse blew it up and the pretended it never existed as we drove our aircraft carrier ashore..

 

[E-kLiPsE]

Not suprised at that one Houston... you know, we said we'd SHARE our beer and grass with you, but NOoooooo, you just had to march on in didn't you? Didn't you?!? You can't handle the truth....

While this story might no be true, I would bet anything that something has happened in the past similar. Most urban legends and the such usually have a bit of truth to them.
