I&#x27;m reminded of this joke:<p><i>US Ship</i>: &quot;Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.&quot;<p><i>Canadians</i>: &quot;Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.&quot;<p><i>US Ship</i>: &quot;This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.&quot;<p><i>Canadians</i>: &quot;No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.&quot;<p><i>US Ship</i>: &quot;<i>THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES&#x27; 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&#x27;S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.</i>&quot;<p><i>Canadians</i>: &quot;This is a lighthouse. Your call.&quot;
