difference between US and Canada hilarious!

[gemsergio]

This is an actual radio Conversation from October 1995 between a US navel ship and the Canadian Authorities

CANADIANS:- Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision

AMERICANS:- Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north 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 US Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers and numerous support vessels. I demand thatyou change your course 15 degrees north. I say agian, thats one
