I wish I was a Somali pirate

Seems that it would only be interesting for a few minutes here and there. 90% of the time, you'd be living in a shithole. 9.9% of the time, you'd be floating around in the middle of the ocean, waiting for a ship to come near. You'd spend all of 5 minutes taking over the ship & taking the crew hostage. Then, you'd sit around, guarding the hostages while waiting for your ransom demands to be filled.

Get clinical help if you're too fragile to find ways to be happy.

Yeah, being a starving peasant in a country so lawless that you have to hug your AK all night every night and so poor that you have to risk your life attacking possibly armed ships sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.
 
I wouldn't want to be a pirate but I def would love to be the guy manning a turret on one of those navy ships blowing them out of the water 😉
 
What bugs me most about becoming a somalian pirate is the way they dress. Just like regular poor, downtrodden people. If they had cooler otufits, then I might consider it.
 
If I were a Somali 'Boat-Jacker' I'd at least make it interesting and increase my odds by dressing up as Johnny Depp / Jack Sparrow or wear eye patches or something. 😀

I'm sure this would throw off / confuse ship crewman enough to get on board because they want an autograph.

Or, just say the heck with it and rent out surplus Phalanx guns and mount a couple of them on random frieghters. That would end this entire piracy thing in a few weeks.
