Funny history

2011-06-20T15:39:00.001-07:00

This story is an "alleged" transcript of an actual radio conversation between a US naval ship and a
Canadian maritime contact off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995.

Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees South to avoid collision.

Americans: This is the captain of a US navy ship; I say again divert your course.

Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS 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 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: We are a lighthouse; your call.

A TRUE STORY

2011-03-04T19:48:00.001-08:00

I was walking through a foggy meadow with my dogs this morning, when suddenly they took off barking. I looked in their direction and saw the big furry red brown head of a bear pop up from the thick sage. It began to jog towards me ignoring the little dogs barking in circles around him. I thought of climbing the twisted juniper between us, then I realized how trapped I would be. I started to walk, quickly, in the opposite direction, the bear noticed but look around almost disinterested, all the while closing the distance.
Ahead I could see a cemetery and I thought, how ironic that I would be killed in a cemetery. Then it dawned on me to me to use my phone. I had trouble taking it out of my pocket while walking so fast. It was not only hard to dial but I couldn't think of what numbers to push ,should have been 911 I guess .Just then an industrial like building with a chain linked fence appeared over a ridge. "God "I thought, let me get there in time.
I was closer to the building now and the bear was about 30 yards away sniffing and Still looking around almost like a thug who knew he was about to do something wrong . It was then I noticed the fire engine parked on the side of the building and felt a glimmer of hope. I was 10 feet from the double doors when the bear decided to pounce. The air pushed against me like molasses and time slowed, the faster I tried to move. I busted in on a card game, where five firemen jumped up, the bear was not far behind. I quickly hid between some lockers screaming like a frightened schoolgirl, expecting these men, none bigger than me, to take my place. There standing on his haunches, now enraged, and feeling suddenly very threatened my pursuer loomed. The beast charged, as a fireman flung a heavy blanket over its head, at the same time another produced a snub nosed 38 from nowhere, and put a bullet in the bear's brain.
I woke with a start, sat up panting at the edge of my bed. I walked down the hall where my wife was making lunch for the kids. I began to tell her what happened. The rest of my day, I thought, should be easy.

Cars to right of me, Cars to left of me, brake lights in front of me Halted and flashed; with sirens and exhaust to smell, Boldly I drive and well, Into the jaws of Death, into the mouth of hell.
