How do they react at the jokes about themselves?

An actual radio conversation between U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and the Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland. The radio conversation was released by the chief of naval operations on 10/10/95 as authorised by the US Freedom of Information Act.

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

U.S.S Abraham Lincoln: 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.

U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No, I say again, divert YOUR course.

U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln: 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…. I SAY AGAIN….THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH….OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP!!

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call. and of course http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE
