Here is Will and Guy's collection of international jokes and funny
pictures.  All the jokes are clean, and to our old-fashioned way of
thinking, are in good taste.  It will be a sad day if national
identities are lost due to political correctness.  There are signs that
common sense is prevailing.  If we have a bias then it's for old
friendly rivalries such as English v Scottish,  American v Canadian,
some of the current conflicts seem too intense and painful for us to include
jokes about their hostilities.

Pulling Rank?

One foggy night, a United States Aircraft Carrier was cruising off the coast of Newfoundland and the junior radar operator
spotted a light
in the gloom.  Here is a transcript of what happened next.

The radar operator worked out that a collision was likely unless the other vessel changed
its course.  So he sent a radio message.

U.S. Aircraft Carrier Radar Officer:
'Please divert
your course at least 7 degrees to the south to avoid a collision'.

Back came the reply:
'You must be joking, I recommend you divert your course instead'.

The U.S. Radar Officer referred the matter to his superior officer.  And reported the incident as
insubordination.

As a result the Captain of the Air Craft Carrier sent a second message.
'I believe that I out rank you, and
am giving you a direct order to divert your
course now!!!'

Canadian Radio Operator:
'This is a lighthouse.  I suggest you take evasive action.'

Footnote to the lighthouse urban myth

The
lighthouse story is an urban myth.  Our friend Jackson heard a rumour that the
story is discussed at the annual coastguards convention, where the different versions are compared and scored.  Apparently most versions are preposterous because the ship would have visual contact with the
lighthouse.  However, if you add a fog to your version you gain credibility - at least in the eyes of the lighthouse keepers.
