     Topic: Kiwis vs Aussies - Australian Navy     Posted: 31 March 2006 at 2:40pm |

   This is an actual radio conversation of an Australian Naval ship with New Zealand authorities off the west coast of the south Island near Milford sound in October 1975.
 
 Kiwis: Please divert your course 15 degrees south to avoid a collision. 
 
 Aussies: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees north to avoid a collision.
 
 Kiwis: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees south to avoid a collision. 
 
 Aussies: This is the captain of an Australian Naval Warship. I say again, divert your course. 
 
 Kiwis: NO I say again, you divert your course.
 
 Aussies: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER HMAS MELBOURNE, THE LARGEST SHIP  IN THE AUSTRALIAN NAVY. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE FRIGATES 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. 
 
 Kiwis: THIS IS A LIGHTHOUSE YOU AUSSIE F#CK~WIT ! YOUR CALL !!!

   Not to burst the bubble as I love that joke too, but the first version of it that I ever saw was with the Canadians in place of the Kiwis, and the good ol' Yanks in place of the Aussies ! Don't think I have a copy of that version though, will post it if I happen to find it !
