Ukrainian: Hey, we're gonna send you guys some tanks on an unarmed ship. Hopefully they make it through those pirate-infested waters without any problems.

Kenyan: Cool.

Ukrainian: I'll talk to you guys later. I need some more vodka.

...

5 days later -

Ukrainian to Kenyan: Uh...was I drunk when I was talking to you the other day?

I highly recommend you read this article on the situation. The NYT interviewed the pirates. They actually seem like pretty nice people.

Yeah, just not in their seas, illegally.

They seem to have a worthy cause just no officially recognized status to police the region.

I was just surprised - they sounded like pretty forthright people. No "Arrrs" or "Mateys" or any of that.
