Old joke, but I always liked it...

This is the transcript of an actual radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. The Radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on Oct. 10, 1995.

US Ship: Please divert your course 0.5 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.
CND reply: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
US Ship: This is the Captain of a US Navy Ship. I say again, divert your course.
CND reply: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course!
US Ship: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS CORAL SEA*, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!!
CND reply: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Even funnier is that the USS Coral Sea was decommissioned and scrapped in 1990. :D

I've always liked the story, but it's an urban legend.

I'm not surprised those are all together, since they were on the product pages. When I was looking at the rabbit, across the bottom other people who viewed this item also viewed... and I knew it had to be the reviews. I mean, what does David Hasselhoff have in common with a dead rabbit? Outside of his career being in the same condition?

That's how I was following them too. Sort of like playing YouTube Roulette. Open one of the 'Also Viewed' items in a new tab & just follow the trail. Hit a dead end & go back a tab. It's nice to know I can enjoy rabbit with a glass of Tuscan milk listening to Hasselhoff in my wolf t-shirt. I thought I'd never get to live out that dream.

The product listing for the Tuscan milk is intriguing.

Dumb question? How to you do the line-out like in the above quote? Call me stoopid, I can't figure that one out?

Not stupid at all...

wrap the text you want to "strike through" with start and end Strikethrough BB code tags [s] [/s].


For example, typing this: Call me [s]stoopid[/s]

Will display as this: Call me stoopid

You can also click on the "Go Advanced" button, highlight the text you want crossed out and click on the strikethrough button. (I made this for someone a long time ago.)

@Seapup: I didn't know about the parse/no parse tags. Very cool!

I'm w/ya... I'm lucky to be able to send an email. I didn't know how either. Computers hate me and so do IT people who try to help me over the phone. "um. Ya. What button do you want me to press? ok, um, where do I find that?" :facepalm: I tried to create a cool signature line to include my quit date and other stuff I wanted to include. You can see how far I got with that *see below*

I hid the answer somewhere in this video. You have to watch the whole thing to find it.




Evil, evil man! :lol::lol::lol::lol:
