You've Got to Read the Job Description


Okay, this is stupid. You are a pirate. You take a hostage. You don't think you may get shot?

I don't understand why the pirates are upset that their pirate friends got shot (aside from the fact that their friends are dead). But they said since America shot their cohorts, they will now deal more violently with future American hostages. As if they have been wronged! It's not like they are farmers whose fields have been trampled by trespassers. They are pirates! They illegally board ships that do not belong to them in any way to forcibly take things or people that they have no right to. What are they thinking?

When you go into the pirating field, you have to know that there are some job hazards. The same way I know that as a professor, I will be forced to read the dribble that masquerades as student papers, you must know that as a pirate, you will be forced to put your life in jeopardy. And quite frankly, you gotta just take that as par for the course. Don't get mad when the crappy part of the job creeps up. Oh wait, I do get mad when I have to read the dribble. But still, you're a pirate. . . .
