I would certainly hope so! After all, Tusker Beer in Kenya was named after the elephant that killed the man who started the brewery. Anyway, I don't always drink beer, but when I do. . .strike that. I always drink beer.

Probably the funniest one was one I haven't written about (yet), when I convinced a Haitian owner who wasn't paying his ship's mortgage to take the ship to the Turks & Caicos, where I could have the court seize the ship so I wouldn't have to--a man who apparently didn't realize that nothing is exported from the T&C. Then I tricked his crew off and had my crew ready to take over.

Pirates are a significant problem and everyone who buys imported goods pays the price because the shipping industry has to add the cost of piracty to the cost of transporting goods by sea.
