A communication between an Egyption and a Macedonian, communicating with signal fires:

Egyptian: Please divert your course 15 degrees south to avoid a collision

Macedonian: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees north to avoid a collision.

Egyptian: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees south to avoid a collision.

Macedonian: This is the Captain of a Macedonian Navy warship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Egyptian: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Macedonian: This is the FLAGSHIP of the MACEDONIAN NAVY, carrying ALEXANDER son of Phillip. We've got a whole LOT of soldiers who are REALLY bored out of their minds, not to mention some REAL good archers, so YOU divert YOUR course.

Egyptians: This is Pharos. Your call.
