Captain, I spy a ship over there that may be ripe for capture. What would you like to do?
We board the ship, take it over, and to let them know we ain't kidding, we make one of them walk the plank. They can draw straws to see who goes.
Draw straws? With all due respect, captain, you can't do that!
I can't? Arrrrrrr! And just why, pray tell, CAN'T I make them draw straws?
'Cause the straws are made of durable plastic compounds that don't degrade, so they'll just sit at the bottom of the sea killing off all the fishes and things.
Hello, McFly, anybody home? I'm sending some fat rich dude to Davy Jones' Locker, and you're worried about a couple of drinking straws?
