the always leave off the rest of the conversation:

Canadians: This is the lighthouse. Your Call.

Americans: Fire.

Ensuing sounds of a lighthouse being shelled to the bottom of the ocean.

Actually it was boring the second time I heard it. And how is it believable? You actually think naval vessels depend on lighthouses so as not to crash into things?

It does represent an American world-view very nicely, and a
'rest-of-the-world' view even better.

In that sense, it's allegorical nature is ageless, and remains both amusing and representative of current world culture.

I don't interpret anything in the document about naval vessels depending on lighthouses - I think your projecting your own issues onto my statement/the original text here.

Ding-Ding round two...

I'm not projecting any issues. There was no rally-round-the-flag in my statements. I just meant that it was funny once, but it's a really, really old joke and not at all funny anymore.
