That's a nice solution ... except that it deals with them "retail".

Sometimes, you need to buy wholesale.

How about leave them on a deserted island in the middle of shark infested waters? OR take them for a ride on a submarine and show them the torpedo tube? (Cement shoes, of course!)

Let them have an accident at sea.

Hnag’em from the tallest Radar Platform then. But then again, Bosun’s mates (especially the reall salty ones) have ways of setting things up for “Special occasions”. A little help from the HT’s and some spare pipe from the Ship’s Machine Shop,...Voila!

“I think it would be great to be a Pirate!”

“Think again Ms. Swann,..if I happen upon anyone committing Piracy I’ll see that they get a proper welcome, a short drop and a sudden stop.”

THIS IS NOT THE NAVY’S PROBLEM. The headline should be: OBAMA Ponders What to do With Pirates

Now that I read the article, I am more concerned. The headline is more or less correct because it is referring to the “Navy” as a whole conglomeration of navies as if they are ONE. The Kenya aspects of the story are ironic considering our Kenyan president.

This quote got me, too. “Kenya’s Foreign Ministry said Friday it is studying a proposal to establish a special tribunal but likely would expect richer countries to foot the bill.” I gotta let the cat of of the bag: The US is NOT a rich country. We are broke. If we were a corporation, we’d be asking for a bailout.
