Through the pitch-black night the captain
Through the pitch-black night, the captain sees a light dead ahead on a collision course with his ship. He sends a signal: “Change your course 10 degree east.â€
The light signals back: “Change yours, 10 degrees west.â€
Angry, the captain sends: “I’m a navy captain! Change your course, sir!â€
“I’m a seaman, second class,†comes the reply. “Change your course, sir.â€
Now the captain is furious. “I’m a battleship! I’m not changing course!â€
There is one last reply. “I’m a lighthouse. Your call.â€
