Lori Yes, now you TOO can become a pirate, it's just business as usual!

I heard this on NPR and was gobsmacked. Just plan accordingly (including hiring your caterer), have your employees clock in and out, get an experienced lawyer for your wheelin dealin negotiations that follows what the market prices are, and you're all set. Oh, the only thing you need to worry about is other pirates after you've got your ransom money, so try to get the owner of the captured boat give you lift away from "shark-infested" waters.
