Want to fight off pirates? Well apparently you don’t need swords to thwart them off anymore…just use a deck chair. Some bloke on a British cruise ship was sitting, drinking a Pina Colada on the deck when he heard automatic gun fire from off the starboard bow. He went over to see and saw a bunch of, you guessed it, Somalian pirates trying to board the ship. So what did this 62 year old Welshman do to stop them? He threw the closest thing near him at the pirates, which happened to be a deck chair. Lucky for his wife she was on the other side of the chair otherwise she would have went over.

After a successful throw, the geezer alerted the captain who out maneuvered the pirates and got away. They are now considering this man a hero. Good for him I say. Next thing you know people are going to be throwing deck chairs at all criminals.

My question is though, if all these pirate attacks are happening off the coast of Somalia, then what the fuck was that cruise ship filled with old timers doing there in the first place?
