GALICIANS VERSUS AMERICANS (this is supposed to be true)

Veridical recorded communication from Marine Emergency Frequency (Channel 106) at Finisterre (Galicia, Spain) between Galicians, and Americans
October 16th, 1997

Galicians:... (static noise).... A-853, here, please change your course 15 degrees south to avoid collision with us, you're coming straight against us. Your distance is 25 nautical miles.

-Yankees: ...(static noise)...WE, recommend ,YOU, change your course 15 degrees north to avoid collision.

-Galicians: Negative. We suggest you, change your course 15 degrees south to avoid collision.

-Yankees: ...(another american voice) Here's the captain of a United States of America's vessel.
We insist, change your course 15 degrees north to avoid collision.
-Galicians: We do not consider it be possible, we suggest you change your course 15 degrees south to avoid collision with us.

-Yankees: ...(very angry and threatening) Here's Captain RICHARD JAMES HOWARD, commander of the carrier USS LINCOLN, from the USA Navy. Second biggest war ship of the American Fleet. Two heavy armoured ships, six destroyers, five cruisers, four submarines, and many supporting ships are escorting us.
We go towards waters of the Persian Gulf, preparing military manoeuvres in case of a possible offensive from IRAQ.
Therefore, I don't suggest you!! I command You!!!! Change your course 15 degrees north!!!!
ON THE CONTRARY WE WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE THE MEASURES THAT ARE NECESSARY TO GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OF THIS SHIP AND THE FORCE OF THIS COALITION.
You, belong to an allied country, member of NATO and Member of this coalition, obey me and get out of our way right now!!!

-Galicians: Here's Juan Manuel Salas Alcántara. we are two persons. We are being escorted with our dog, some food two beers and one canary bird, which is sleeping now. Cadena Dial from Corunna and the marine emergency Channel 106 supports us. we don't go anywhere, since we speak you from the mainland, we are in the coastal light A-853 Finisterre, at Galician's Coast.
We don't have fucking idea about which place we rank on the coastal light's Spanish ranking. You can take the actions you consider more appropriate to protect your shit's ships, which will be wrecking on the rocks.
Reason by which we insist again, suggesting that it's better, healthier, and SMARTER change your course 15 degrees south to avoid collision...

-Yankees: Americans: OK. message received. Thank you
