This Is A Lighthouse, Your Call

There's an old joke, where two people on a radio at sea are talking, telling the other to change course to avoid a collision, one of them getting more angry, since they're so important and all, but it turns out the other voice is a lighthouse.


I always assumed it was a joke, a comment on proto-Karens. But after some research, I found a transcript of the conversation, it really happened!


Of course, given that was in the lawsuit over the lighthouse not mentioning its status early enough to avoid a shipwreck, I understand turning it around on the ship.
