You know, it's coming to the point that, in certain parts of the world, there may be a need for a privately hired armed ship following the ship!
Yet another ship was hijacked by somali pirates today - the sixth this week.
No, it wasn't a cruise ship, but it was a US flagged cargo ship with an American crew, which is a firt for the pirates.
While no cruise ships have been taken, there have been several instances and / or close calls . . . and crruise ships are, for the most part, avoiding the Gulf of Aden and the waters off the coast of Somalia. But, the pirates are getting bolder and widening their reach.
One of my coworkers has the perfect solution to the pirate problem. We rent out a cruise ship to a redneck sponsored cruise. We then allow all the folks to bring their own guns and give them free ammo. We also make the whiskey free and tell them that the pirates have been known to desecrate the confederate flag.
We then tell them it is open season on pirates and there is an additional case of beer bounty on each one they kill.
Just let the ship cruise around for a while, problem will be solved.

Unfortunately, had "redneck" been substituted with the name of "any other ethnic group whatsoever" in this post, most would have been quite upset ... even when they were only made in jest.
id you hear the one about the doctor, engineer, and programmer who were debating what the world's oldest profession was. The doctor said that medicine was the oldest because the Lord performed surgery in the removal of Adam's rib.
The engineer countered that before that act, the Lord had performed feats of engineering by creating the earth and heavens from nothing.
The doctor conceded that the engineer was right and that engineering was indeed the oldest profession. But then the programmer interjected that programming was even older.
He was chided by both the doctor and the engineer saying that engineering had to be the oldest, because before the Lord engineered the earth and heavens, there was nothing, only the Great Void, only Chaos!
The programmer simply smiled and said: "Where do you think the Chaos came from?"

Yes, you're correct: The Fundametal Religious Right is fair game too!
