Silver Surfer forward:

Through the pitch-black night, the captain sees a light dead ahead
on a collision course with his ship. He sends a signal: "Change
your course ten degrees east."

The light signals back: "Change yours, ten degres west."

Angry, the captain sends: "I'm a Navy captain! Change your course,
sir!"

"I'm a seaman, second class," comes the reply. "Change your course,
sir."

Now the captain is furious. "I'm a battleship! I'm not changing
course!"

There's one last reply: "I'm a lighthouse. Your call."
