Well their career choices are limited. Pirates can't even do Sesame Street unless it's brought to us by the letter Arrrrr.

I know, if I’d found him, how much money he’d have been reported to have been carrying.

Hmmm, 4 pirates and $2.85m in loot are still missing.
Tomorrow we will hear that tourist sites, farms, and government offices from Djibouti to Durban stand idle as the entire population of east Africa takes up beach-combing.

I guess it’s true what they say...”you can’t take it with you” What idiot in poverty-strickened Somalia finds a dead pirate washed up on the beach and doesn’t swipe the loot?

Dead pirates aren’t much fun.
Well, unless you envision this guy as an IRS agent or politician.
