I've probably posted this before but I think it's so funny.



This is the actual radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. Radio conversation released by the chief of naval operations, 10-10-95.

CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision.

CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a 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 US LINCOLN, the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied with three Destroyers, three Cruisers 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 undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

CANADIANS: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Emphasis mine.

The homicidal pumpkin post did not include any verbiage like: "actual homicidal pumpkin" in it.

Besides, I agreed it was funny. Whaddaya want?

Little Johnny watched his daddy's car pass by the school playground and go into the woods. Curious, he followed the car and
saw Daddy and Aunt Joy in a passionate embrace. Little Johnny found this so exciting that he could not contain himself as he ran home and started to tell his mother, "Mommy, I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Joy I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Joy a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Joy helped Daddy take his pants off, then AuntJoy......." At this point Mommy cut him off and
said, "Johnny, this is such an interesting story, suppose you save
the rest of it for supper time. I want to see the look on Daddy's
face when you tell it tonight."

At the dinner table, Mommy asked little Johnny to tell his story.
Johnny started his story, "I was at the playground and I saw
Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Joy. I went back to look
and he was giving Aunt Joy a big kiss, then he helped her take off
her shirt. Then Aunt Joy helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt
Joy and Daddy started doing the same thing that Mommy and Uncle
Bill used to do when Daddy was in the Army." Mommy fainted!
