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 !!! ------------- Mum to Alex (11), Blaire (10) & Erika (8) and Damien (6) Successful HWB VBA2Cs! Soon to be surrogate |

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 !  ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater
