Change Your Course by 10 Degrees


The Captain of a ship saw what looked like the lights of another ship heading towards him.  He ordered his signalman to contact the other ship.  Th message was: "Change your course 10 degrees to the south."

The reply was "Change YOUR course 10 degrees to the north."

The Captain said "I am a captain, so change YOUR course 10 degrees to the south"
Reply: "I am a seaman first class, change YOUR course 10 degrees to the north."

This last exchange infuriated the captain so he signaled back: "I am a battleship change YOUR course 10 degrees to the south."

Reply: "I am a lighthouse.  Change YOUR course 10 degrees to the north."
