The Captain of an American Airliner receives a message from a few miles ahead...

The Captain of an American Aircraft Carrier is sailing his ship through a deep fog, so much that he can barely see anything. They are moving slowly, and all crew members are instructed to be on high alert, ready to act at a moment's notice. Suddenly, he receives a call from something just a few miles ahead.

"Greetings Captain. You are on a collision course, and we recommend that you redirect your course 15 degrees to the east."

The Captain, surprised that anyone would be so arrogant as to ask him to move over, picks up the microphone to reply. "Thank you, but we think *You* should redirect your course. This ship can be difficult to turn."

The voice replies again, sounding a bit more urgent. "Again, we recommend that you redirect your course 15 degrees to the east."

A little bit frustrated, the captain talks back. "This is an American fleet ship. It requires much more effort and power to change course than you think. Redirect *your* course."

The voice, again, replies. "You must redirect your course soon, captain, or there will be a collision!"

The Captain is angry now, and barks into the microphone. "Listen carefully. This is a ten thousand ton aircraft carrier made of solid steel, and reinforced to survive the heaviest storms at sea. *I highly recommend you alter* your *course."*

The reply, "This is the lighthouse, captain. Your call."
