When differences were settled with cannons

by Rick Baker
On Feb 18, 2014

In the old sea-days, differences of interests were settled ...

You are the captain of your ship
You know your interests and the interests of your ship
You see his ship and you believe his interests do not align with yours
You clarify your interests and display your cannons for him to see
Still, you and he do not see eye to eye
Your cannons shoot across his bow
A battle ensues
You board his ship
He agrees to your terms
His ship has a new captain
