Joke of the day - Americans Vs Canadians.

Americans vs. Canadians

The following is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations, of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in Oct. 1995. Reprinted in the Memorial University campus newspaper.

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 you change your course 15 degrees north – that’s one-five degrees north – or counter measures will be taken to ensure the safety of this ship.

Canadians: THIS IS A LIGHTHOUSE. Your call.

Add a bit of stoopid, a whole lot of arrogance and nuclear wessels and you get Americans.
I think the lighthouse could've taken em.

Hey hey now. This is pretty funny, even after I heard it a hundred thousand times. Lets lay off the "americans are stupid and ignorant" comments though. It hurts my little feelings. 🙁

Hahah. Harmless steriotypes are fine by me, as long as you don't actually think they're true for everyone. Then you will become the steriotype, stupid and ignorant.

Ha, that's awesome! The sad part is, after listening to my boyfriend (Canadian working for dept. of national defence) I'm pretty sure that this exact situation is entirely possible.
