Reaching for the radio, he says "Change your course ten degrees east." "Change yours ten degrees west," comes the reply. The captain responds, "I'm a naval captain! Change your course sir!" "I'm a seaman second class," the reply comes back. "Change your course, sir." The captain is furious. "I'm a battleship! I'm not changing course!" The man replies, "I'm in a lighthouse. Your call."
