Through the pitch-black night, the captain sees a light dead ahead on a collision course with his ship. He sends a signal: “Change your course 10 degree east.”
The light signals back: “Change yours, 10 degrees west.”
Angry, the captain sends: “I’m a navy captain! Change your course, sir!”
“I’m a seaman, second class,” comes the reply. “Change your course, sir.”
Now the captain is furious. “I’m in a battleship! I’m not changing course!”
There is one last reply. “I’m in a lighthouse. Your call.”
Sometimes, you just don’t get the last word.

That lighthouse wouldn’t be good for the ship OR the lighthouse 😀

I’m certain this has actually happened a time or two.
But NO Captain is going to enter this in his log.
