AUSTRALIAN passengers threw chairs at pirates that tried to board their luxury cruise ship. Emily Everywhere's mother-in-law was among them.
Six pirates armed with machine guns fired on tourists while trying to hijack the luxury liner Melody as she sailed from the Seychelles to the Italian city of Genoa.
The ship's Israeli-hired security guards exchanged gunfire with the pirates as staff ordered passengers to hide in their cabins.
Couriermail.com.au blogger Emily Everywhere said her mother-in-law was on board, and joined passengers who threw chair at the pirates.

I have a chair license, but I only throw them sometimes..LOL
Welcome to the real world, little boys. My advice is to kidnap somebody who won't eat you. Learn your flags, little boys. Learn them well. Stick to herbivores is my advice. The meat-eaters, well...
(big grin!)
> Perhaps I will one day make a pilgrimage to the Land Down Under so that I may study at the feet of the masters that I may learn this useful art.
If you ever make the trip it would be a pleasure to enroll you in my Academy. Do look me up!
How about instead of spraying water on them or throwing chairs, spray bacon grease.
I wonder if they are going to charge these passengers with vandalism and littering in the ocean?
Not really. Fosters is a throwing beer, not a drinking beer.
Better still!
LOL.
yvan eht nioj dude! /otto
It looks like Bobby Knight throwing a chair to me.
They need more basketball courts.
Ask Whore-aldo (cry-me-a) Rivera about chairs , they can be very effective weapons at short range.
I don’t reckun you’re on this ship, eh, BG? ;-) (ducks)
Passengers can bring their own weapons and body armour, and we will have rentals available including RPGs, scoped rifles, and belt fed weapons, and we will cruise up and down the coast of Somalia begging the pirates to try to hijack us.

Throwing beer: you mean before or after you drink it?
I quite like Fosters, used to work for Elders IXL when they owned Carleton & United Breweries back in the ‘80’s. Of all the Australian beers, it’s the nicest by a wide margin. NZ beer is better, tho’.
