Here is a little story, apparently true. But what matters is what it teaches!

This is a radio transmission of a confrontation between American and Canadian authorities off the coast of Canada a few years ago.
US ship: Please divert your course 0.5 degrees to the South to avoid collision.
Canadian reply: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid collision.
US ship: This is the captain of the US Navy Ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
Canadian reply: No, I say again, divert YOUR course!
US ship: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS *. WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!
Canadian reply: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
