Lighthouse: "Recommend you divert YOUR course to the South 15 degrees to avoid a collision."
Carrier: "I am the captain of a United States Naval warship. I say again, divert YOUR course."
Lighthouse: "No, I say again, you divert YOUR course."
Carrier: "THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ABRAHAM 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 NORTH 15 DEGREES . THAT'S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP."
Lighthouse: "This is a lighthouse. Your call."
(Navy says that this never happened, I think it's funny anyway
