pirate hunting

[Brutus]

Blackchipjim might like this, especially if you get to split the pot. I would prefer the old school tommy gun... wonder if that costs extra?

Passengers on a new cruise along the coast of Somalia are paying to catch more than just salmonella.

A Russian luxury yacht company is now offering pirate-hunting trips that promise the chance to be attacked by real sea bandits. The yachts cruise from Djibouti to Mombasa in Kenya at deliberately low speeds in the hopes of attracting pirates.

Passengers pay $5,000 for the trip, and an extra $17.50 a day for an AK-47 and 100 rounds of ammo. The price includes free origami towels in the rooms. Former Special Forces troops are on board to make sure none of the cruise passengers are injured.

its fun for the whole family...

"Six attacks in 4 days were more than I expected. I bagged three pirates, my wife nailed two, and my 12-year old son sank two boats with the mini-gun. This wonderful cruise was fun for the whole family" -- Fred D., Cincinnati, OH

"Pirates 0, Passengers 32! Well worth the trip! Can't recommend it highly enough!" -- Ben L., Bethesda, MD

Wow..That sound s like fun...I wonder if they'll let you BYOG. I was thinking
a Barret might be good for that.

Edit.. Wow they have one on board you can rent! and a mini-gun! (too bad it's not real)

I wonder if this was real, how many people would actually do it....

Can we say, business opportunity!?!

All kidding aside if non-lethal weapons were used it might be a challenge. I find it sad that in this day and age with all the high tech devices that we can not control what happens at sea. I know the oceans are vast but there has got to be a way to eliminate this menace of the seas. Arrgh! blackchipjim

Alarm bells would be ringing off the wall when this guy presented himself at the airport metal detector. What a sight his baggage X-ray would photo, with him in it... This champion piercer could never pierce airport security unless, he took em all off... 3 weeks later, he can board the plane... This dude looks the ideal type of manager for Brutus' moonshine business expansion into Cuba. The company message: Nobody but nobody f**ks with Pirate Moonshine.

This guy might make a good understudy for an Obama press secretary. The administration wants to be totally inclusive and this would be a marvelous gesture in that regard. People who never paid attention to politics before would be brought into the Obama Won Kenobi fold. Maybe a future Supreme Court Justice, too. Yeah, that's the ticket. Havana Hose Anillos, Supreme Court Justice, Esq. I'm sure any decision by him would be far better than a decision by an American Bronx born, bred and educated Hispanic woman.
