 Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees South to avoid a collision. 

Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees the North to avoid a collision. 

Canadians: Negative.  You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision. 

Americans:  This is the Captain of a US Navy ship.  I say again, divert YOUR course. 

Canadians:  No.  I say again, you divert YOUR course. 

Americans:  THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET.  WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS.  I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH , I SAY AGAIN, THAT’S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

 Canadians:  This is a lighthouse.  Your call.
