Make me one with everything.
Dalai Lama walks up to a hot dog vendor and says, “Make me one with everything.”
So the hot dog guy makes him an extra large hot dog with everything on it and says, “That’ll be $3.50.”
The Dalai Lama hands him a $20 bill and the hot dog guy sticks it in the register.
The Dalai Lama says, “What about my change?”
The hot dog guy says, “Change comes from within.”

The lighthouse and the aircraft carrier.
Believe it or not…this is the transcript of an actual radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. The Radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on Oct. 10, 1995.
US Ship: Please divert your course 0.5 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.
CND reply: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
US Ship: This is the Captain of a US Navy Ship. I say again, divert your course.
CND reply: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course!
US Ship: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS CORAL SEA, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!!
CND reply: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
While there is no evidence that this event ever took place, the urban legend of “the lighthouse vs. the carrier” is a variation on a joke that dates to at least the 1930s. The U.S. Navy has a webpage debunking the scenario as implausible for a number of reasons. Most often it is used as a witty parable teaching the dangers of inflexibility and self-importance, and the need for situational awareness.
