Change Your Course... Heard this from some friends, thought I'd post this here. On a very dark night, a Captain of a battleship saw a light headed on a collision course. He sent a warning message: ""Change your course 15 degrees East!"". He receives the reply: ""You change your course 15 degrees West!"". Annoyed he sends another message: ""I am a Navy Captain, now change your course!"". He receives another reply: ""I'm a seaman 2nd class, I suggest you change your course, sir!"". Angry, the captain sends another message: ""I am a battleship! I will not change course!"". Again he receives another reply: ""I'm a light house! Your call."".
