dit kwam ik op een ander (Engels) forum tegen:
CANADIANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
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: SIR, THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE ATLANTIC. WE ARE NUCLEAR, EQUIPPED WITH THE WORLD'S MOST ADVANCED AIR AND SEA ASSAULT FIREPOWER, ACCOMPANIED BY THREE STATE-OF-THE-ART DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS WITH UNPARALLELED BALLISTIC CAPABILITY AND NUMEROUS OTHER SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR SWIFT AND DECISIVE COUNTERMEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS VESSEL.
CANADIANS: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
