Right, so that just leaves the federal government that doesn’t understand market forces.

That’s bad when pirating becomes a ‘supply and demand’ economy.

Too many boats/captives, too little booty/bounty.

I say tell the Somali govt that “since you can’t control who is leaving your shores, WE WILL!”, And that means we sink everything that strays more than say 1 mile from your shore - sort of a “no-float zone”.

Screw the U.N. and what they say.

EXCEPTION: If Michael Moore is captured, then by all means the pirates should “give him a deal”.

“Low, low ransoms!

We have to make room for new inventory now!
The boss says ‘no offer refused’!”

And my favorite sale spiel...

“I’d give them away... but my wives won’t let me!!!!!!”

Barbara: So, when do I get out of here?
Sandy: As soon as Mr. Stone pays the ransom.
Barbara: What's the problem? What is the ransom?
Sandy: Well, we asked for $500,000.
Barbara: That should be no problem.
Sandy: He wouldn't pay.
Barbara: He wouldn't pay?
Sandy: Then we asked him for $50,000.
Barbara: Yeah?
Sandy: He still wouldn't pay. So now we're lowering our price to $10,000.
Barbara: Do I understand this correctly? I'm being marked down? [Starts crying]
Barbara: I've been kidnapped by K-Mart!

Goldman Sachs is probably negotiating with the pirates to offer “ransom anticipation” bonds.
