Throw Your Weight
A ship once received a call, immediately change ten degrees starboard your course!
Ship responded, change your direction ten degrees starboard or you will have remorse!
The call in the night came back, please change your course ten degrees to starboard now!
Or we won't be responsible for your destruction, the impending consequences of how!
The ship responded, I don't think you understand who this is, and I will be specific!
We are the largest U.S. Aircraft carrier! the mightiest warship in the Pacific!
Sir, I don't think you understand who this is, or what exactly you've found!
We are a lighthouse, and if you don't change your course now; you'll run a ground!
