cruise ships...

I am waiting for it to warm up a little before I head to the hardware store. I was reading the news while I waited. It seems that a cruise ship outran a pirate boat. Not there were 6 pirates and about 700 passengers. I think that the thing to do is to arm the passengers when a pirate ship is spotted. The could all fire at the pirates just as soon as they are spotted. It would beat shuffleboard for the passengers. I bet if they offered pirate shooting as an activity they would stay full all the time.
