AUDIO: CRUISE SHIP ASKS PASSENGERS TO KEEP LIGHTS OFF AT NIGHT TO HIDE FROM PIRATES
The Cunard Line cruise ship Queen Anne is currently making its maiden around-the-world voyage. Last week, as the ship was traveling through the Celebes Sea between Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, the captain asked the 3,000 passengers to turn off their room lights and shut the curtains at night, so as not to attract pirates. The captain sent out the message, “This area is known for piracy threats. Therefore, we will be operating at a heightened level of security alertness during this period.”
* Yes, if we’re very quiet, maybe they won’t notice our 1,000-foot long, 13-deck cruise ship.
* A “heightened level of security alertness”? More like a heightened level of hiding and cowering.
* Oh my god, they want our all-you-can-eat buffet!
* Would it really be that hard to carry some shoulder-launched missiles?
* (see clip below) “Oh, now who blew the ship’s horn? Who did that? Report to the bridge immediately!!”
CLIP: A loud ship horn.
