Dearest Friends in Affection,

The title, of course, includes me.  I found this some time ago and was
so tickled by it I thought I might repost it.

By the way, it has absolutely nothing to do with the purported purpose
or actual purposes of this particular news group, so it is a flagrant
violation of the FAQ.

For a copy of the FAQ, please see Naughty Boy, who is in attendance
here at the Galleries daily.

Thank you very much.

> British and the Irish Navy, off the coast of Kerry, Oct 98. Radio
> conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-01:
>
> IRISH: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South, to avoid a
> collision.

> BRITISH: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER HMS BRITANNIA! THE SECOND
> LARGEST SHIP IN THE BRITISH 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
> IS 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE
> THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
