True story: Julius Caesar was once kidnapped by pirates. He spent his time in captivity gambling with them and would joke that he would crucify them as soon as he's free.

The ransom was paid, Caesar was set free, and the first thing he did was borrow a flotilla of ships, find the pirates, and crucify all of them.

He was offended by the low ransom which the pirates proposed, and suggested they require a higher ransom.

Also, he took some pity on them and cut their throats after they were crucified.

He also annoyed the hell out of the pirates by reciting poetry to them at all hours of the night. Haha.

Life Pro-Tip: Darth Vader is not particularly fond of kidnappings. See Caesar, Genghis Khan, Napoleon
