Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees the South to avoid a collision.
Americans: Recommend you divert your
course 15 degrees 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 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,
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.
Starting a business is a little like being
a spider. You're born and are kicked from your mother's protection
as soon as you can walk for yourself. You set up your own web, open
shop,
and then sit and wait for the customers
to come to you.
If you are successful, you get a bigger
web and a big belly.
If you are unsuccessful, you shrivel up
and die.
If you're too successful, and big too big
a web, some hand comes out from above and crushes you.
Lesson: Be a big spider fast, but don't
get too big.
