2/22/2008 -- Greetings from Stow, Ohio
This isn't a quote, it's a story about excessive stubborness. While the veracity of the story is questionable, it still provides a humorous take.
Supposedly on the bridge of the U.S.S. Missouri
Navigator tells captain that there's a light ahead, in the path of the ship. The captain radios out, alter course to starboard. A response comes back, you alter course to starboard. Captain asks, what rank are you. Response comes back I'm a Lieutenant. Captain radios, I order you to alter course to starboard. Response comes back, you alter course. Finally, the Captain gets angry and radios "I'm the Mighty Mo ... alter course." Response comes back "I'm a lighthouse, alter course."
