ggohil 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2001 In the middle of a dark and thick night, the Captain of a ship notices a flicker of light on the horizon, which appeared to be in a direct path of his vessel. The Captain motions the first officer to signal....... “turn 5 degrees to starboard side”. To which the reply was,........“You turn 5 degrees to starboard”. The Captain in a firmer voice motions the First Officer to signal..... “Turn 5 degrees to starboard side, This is A CAPTAIN ”. The reply came .............. “You turn 5 degrees to starboard side, this is a seaman” The Captain could no longer tolerate such an exhibition of insubordination in marine safety procedures. The Captain vehemently orders to signal.............. “Turn 5 degrees to starboard side, or prepare to be be crushed........this is a moving FREIGHTER” The reply was “you turn 5 degree to starboard side, this is a stationary lighthouse” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tarun 6 Report post Posted July 15, 2001 This reminds me of junior devotees challenging senior devotees, children challenging parents. Our general lack of culture & respect for one another is increasing. Yet we think we're progressing. We're convinced of it. This Yudhisthir Mhrj deemed the funniest thing of all.
