Alacrity

I read a lot of Reader's Digest when I'm home. Aside: Did you know I once got a funny published in Reader's Digest? It's not funny if you don't know about gardening, but I got $100 for it, so it's all good even if none of my friends get it. If you can find it on this girl's quote page you can see it. ANYWAY, here's a funny Humor in Uniform joke:

"Dead ahead, through the pitch black night, the captain sees a light on a collision course with his ship. He sends a signal: 'Change your course ten degrees east.'
'Change yours ten degrees west,' comes the reply.
The captain responds, 'I'm a United States Navy captain! Change your course, sir.'
'I'm a seaman second class,' the next message reads. 'Change your course, sir.'
The captain is furious. 'I'm a battleship! I'm not changing course!'
'I'm a lighthouse. Your call.'
