A cruise off the shore of Somalia?
My friend Billy Jack sent me an invitation to organize a cruise with him. Ya’ll remember BJ, he’s the one who got banned from Wal-Mart a while back for some semi-strange behavior.
He’s got a great sense of humor and a wonderful sense of adventure. He recently returned from a vacation and he might have come up with this idea while idling his time away. I’m not sure he is under the direct supervision of his wife.
Texans are probably the only folks who will get really excited about this cruise. Everyone knows the state is full of gun crazy zealots who are just looking for a chance to improve their marksmanship. Well, Ole BJ might have hit on a great solution to this ongoing international crisis and provided a bunch of Real Texans with some amusing entertainment and target practice.
This Texas style cruise could really be a boost to the image of our great state.
I can already imagine how grateful and thankful the major TV networks and current politicians are going to be. Let me know if you are ready to join us, time’s a wastin’. These Texas-only cruises will clean out the pirate problem along the coast. We will be sailing under the Texas flag.
Here are some of the costs associated with the package:
- $800.00 per day per person, double occupancy. Single supplements also available.
- M-16 (fully automatic): $25.00/day with ammo at 100 rounds.
- AK-47: No charge. 100 rounds of ammo for $14.95
- Barrett M-107 .50 cal. sniper rifle: $55.00/day. Ammo at 25 rounds for $19.95
- Crew members will double as spotters for $30.00 per hour (spotting scope included).
- RPG’s at $75 each and $200 for 3 standard loads.
- Mounted mini-gun available @ $450.00 per 30 seconds of sustained fire.
- Free complimentary night vision equipment.
- Barbecue and Lone Star are free and every Texan knows that always improves your night vision and marksmanship. Fresh coffee and other snacks on the top deck from 7 p.m. ’till 6 a.m.
- Group rates and corporate discounts offered with a money back guarantee if not fully satisfied.
Here’s a sample of our proposed guarantee:
- We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts by pirates or we will refund one half your money, including gun rental charges and any unused ammo.
- Can we guarantee you will experience a hijacking? We cruise at 5 knots within 12 miles of the coast of Somalia . If an attempted hijacking does not occur during the regularly scheduled cruise, we will turn the boat around and cruise the coast at 4 knots.
- Reserve your package before May 29th and get 100 rounds of free tracer ammo in the caliber of your choice.”
Here are a few testimonials:
“FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!” —- Stinky Friedman-Houston
“I got three confirmed kills on my last trip. I’ll never hunt big game in Africa again.” —- Bubba Hemmingway-San Antone
“Six attacks in 4 days were more than I expected. I bagged three pirates and my 12 year old son sank two rowboats with the minigun. Well worth the trip. Just make sure your spotter speaks English.” —- Rambo Murphy – San Angelo
“Like ducks in a barrel. We blew a pirate ship out of the water and saw several pirates screaming in the water like little girls. This is a must do.” —- Biggie Johnson – Big Lake
Let me know

Real Texas Cruiser
BTW – You can book a great cruise from Texas with Texas Cruise Company but probably not to Somalia.

Got an email about this cruise that you are jesting about…found it pretty interesting and funny, but it wasn’t written like you have it up here…just wondering if this is where this started or if it came from a different source…funny idea though.

So you have parents going on these trips with their kids and enjoying a day of whole-sale murder.
“We sail until we get attacked” is basically what you’re saying. So you are provoking those people. So, do you put a dog down that has bitten your kids face off even though you encourage the kid to repeatedly poke the dog with a stick? You’re a bunch of fucking retards. Turn the guns on yourselves and rid the world of your stupidity.
Um, yeah I would put a dog down if it bit my kids face off you fucking idiot. You obviously do not have children. I don’t care what my child does to a dog, if it “bites his face off” I would fucking kill it. You are the stupid one.
Moe, Its a Joke. Lighten up. Unless the ship sails from Texas you can’t bring guns. You realy need a vaction. Besides, those Pirates kill plenty of people every year. I would go if they did it and I’m not even from Texas.
I don’t know why the various Navies of the world aren’t sending in armed decoys. How long do you think there would be pirates off the coast of Somalia if there were 25 or so disguised ships sailing around with a SEAL team on board? If only the professionals were allowed to do their jobs, this wouldn’t even be an issue.
