These are from a book called ' Disorder in the American Courts', and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were taking place!

Best one was the girl from a rougher part of Ayrshire - being quizzed ina benefits hearing about the father of her latest offspring..... "Are you sure you can't remember the name of your child's father?" Reply "Listen, when you eat a tin of beans you don't know which one makes you fart." Title: Re: For Robert's viewing pleasure!

Title: Re: For Robert's viewing pleasure! Post by: dik9 on October 04, 2005, 05:55:58 PM AMERICANS LOL
This is the actual radio conversation of a US naval ship with the 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. AMERCIANS; This is the Aircraft Carrier US LINCOLN, the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied with 3 Destroyers, 3 Cruisers and numerous support vesels. I DEMAND that you change your course 15 degrees to the North. I say again, thats one-five degrees North, or counter measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship. CANADIANS; This is a lighthouse. Your call. Title: Re: For Robert's viewing pleasure! Post by: Div on October 04, 2005, 06:03:08 PM This is the actual radio conversation of a US naval ship...
