Mutiny! (AKA when idiots negotiate)

Aargh! One a me Maties is threatening mutiny.

Possible Responses to the mutinous threat: (is mutinous a word? ps: it passed spellcheck)

1. Go (deleted) yourself.
2. Throw im in the hold.
3. Gee, we are all sensitive and compassionate beings so I hear where you are coming from.
4. Take anybody with you and I'll bludgeon you all.
5. So sorry that things didn't work out. Let's calmly discuss this over tea and crumpets.
6. Wow, I didn't see that one coming ---(this would be a full on lie and Skully doesn't lie. Sure, he believes in the adage that you shouldn't ruin a good story with facts, but that's different).

Probably a host of other responses could be found including, "What would Jimmy do", but at the end of the day, as Adrian Paul said, "There can be only one" and that one is...

SKULLY - see #1 above.

I'll really miss the Mutineer. Right. For about 30 seconds.

Moral of the story: Ants shouldn't threaten lions.

Hmmm, maybe I should advertise my "negotiation" strategies in all of the airlines magazines... nah, that would never work.
