A 17 year-old teenager from California, Zac Sunderland, spent more than a year at sea alone and became one of about 250 people in the entire world to ever successfully sail around the world. I'm sure the similar group, People Who Tried to Sail Around the World but DIED Trying is a much larger group. But, their annual reunions meet with far less conversation...seeing as they're all dead.
This kid even came about one curly butt hair away from getting jumped by pirates. PIRATES! Holy shit!
And what does he do? He calls his parents to ask their advice on what to do. His mom's response? (more importantly, how many times did he call only to leave a frantic "PIRATES, MOM! CALL ME BACK!!" voicemail?)
She told him "Load your gun and use it."
How'd you like to be put in hold after you tell your son to do THAT?
Lucky for him, the pirates never came close enough for Zac to quote Dirty Harry's famous "do you feel lucky, [pirate]?" line.
Read more about Zac and his story, that will surly get him laid for the next 50 years.
