Creativity and some laughs



















These are some creative ads I must say!
Now for some laughs:)

This is a transcript of an actual radio conversation between a US Naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995.

US SHIP: Please divert your course 0.5 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

CANADIAN REPLY: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

US SHIP: This is the Captain of the US Navy Ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

CANADIAN REPLY: No, I say again, divert YOUR course!

US SHIP: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS NIMITZ. WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW.

CANADIAN REPLY: This is a lighthouse. Your call

All of you have a wonderful weekend and send some warm sunshine if possible my way!

Those Cannucks! They kill me!

Thanks for the laugh Fuzzy. Have a great weekend. Did you get any of this snow? After nothing up until Jan 15, we had really cold for a month, now we have about 3 feet on the ground.

Oh well. It'll melt.
Peace.

Dang them lighthouses. They always think they can just sit there and not move at all. Absolutely no respect for the US Navy.
