Beccaning Call

Radio, this is Unit 51.

Flashback:

Clipping from Maximum Rock 'n' Roll --

"The following came to me from Alan Kornhauser. It is a transcript of a radio exchange released Octover 10, 1996 by the Chief of Naval Operations.

Messenger 1: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision.
Messenger 2: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to south to avoid a collision.
Messenger 1: This is the captain of a U.S. Navy ship. I say again, divert your course.
Messenger 2: No, I say again, divert YOUR course.
Messenger 1: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ENTERPRISE. WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW.
Messenger 2: This is a lighthouse. Your call."

Probably never happened, but it always made me giggle. That record shop where I bought that mag isn't even open anymore. What's truly amazing is that I was able to hold onto a single clipping for 9 years. Heh.
