Quote from nutmeg:
I hear ya, I'm currently at sea posting from flotsdam myself, curios incident though, an American submarine just surfaced. The American captain opens the hatch and asks: "Which way is Alaska?"
I pointed my finger: "That way!"
"Thanks!" says the American, shouts "South-South-East, bearing 159.5 degrees!" down the hatch and the submarine submerges.
Ten minutes later a Soviet submarine emerges. The Russian captain opens the hatch and asks the me: "Where did the American submarine go?" I replied: "South-South-East bearing 159.5 degrees!"
"Don't be a smart-ass," says the captain, "just point with your finger!"
