Sombreros

I went to breakfast at Denny’s. As I was leaving, so was this couple. I asked if it was someone’s birthday. She started speaking in broken English and I knew I was in trouble. I had struck up a conversation with someone I wouldn’t understand. She seemed excited to share and took off in Spanish. I understood 16 and anniversary. After I said, “16, wow,” she kept going. I kept nodding and smiling. As they left I said,
“Adiós!” I was proud of myself for my vast ability to speak another language.

A captain notices a light in the distance on a collision course with his ship. He turns on the signal lamp and sends, “Change your course, 10° west.”
A signal comes back, “Change your course, 10° east.“

The captain gets a little annoyed. He sends, “I’m a U.S. Navy captain. Change your course, sir.”
The light signals back, “ I’m a Seaman first class. Change your course, sir.“

Now the captain is mad. He signals, “I am an aircraft carrier. Change your course.“
The light signals back one last time. “I am a lighthouse. Your call.“
