Spain: We are the A853, please, change your course 15 degrees south to avoid collision. You are heading directly to us, distance: 25 nautic miles.
American: We recomend you change your course 15 degrees north to avoid collision.
Spain: Negative, we repeat, change your course 15 degrees south to avoid collision.
American: Its the captain of an American ship talking to you, we insist that you change your course 15 degrees north to avoid collision.
Spain: We dont consider it possible, we suggest you change your course 15 degrees south to avoid collision.
American: You are being talked by the captain *beep* in command of the US carrier *beep*, the second biggest of the American fleet, we are being escorted by 2 battleships, 6 destroyers, 5 cruisers, 4 submarines and several support vesels... We are going to the Persian Golf, to strike Iraq. I dont suggest you, I order you, change your course 15 degrees north or we will be forced to take the necesary measures to ensure the safety of this craft and this fleet. You are part of an allied country, member of the NATO, please, obey inmediatelly and get out of our way.
Spain: You are being talked by Juan Manuel Salas Alcántara, we are 2 persons, we are being escorted by our dog, our food, 2 beers and a bird that is currently sleeping. We have the support of Cadena Dial de Coruña (a public radio) and the channel 16 of sea emergencies. We are not moving anywhere because we are talking to you from main land. We are in the lighthouse A853 of FinisTerre in the spanish coast, we have no *fucking* clue of what rank we are of the Spanish lighthouses, you can take all the *fucking* measures you want to ensure the safety of your ship, which is gonna *fucking* crash against the rocks. So we insist and suggest again that maybe, just maybe, its better and safier for you to change your course 15 degrees south to avoid a collision.
American: Allright, roger, thanks.
