The Pirate Way

The Pirate Way A sailor meets a pirate in a bar and they take tams recounting their adventures at sea. Noting the pirate's peg-leg, hook and eye patch the sailor asks, "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"

The pirate replies, "We was caught in a monster storm off the Cape and a giant wave swept me overboard. Just as they were pullin' me out, a school of sharks appeared and one of 'em bit me leg off".

"Blimey!" said the sailor. "What about the hook"?

"Ahhhh... ", mused the pirate, "We were boarding a trader ship, pistols blasting and swords swinging this way and that. In the fracas me hand got chopped off"

"Zounds!" remarked the sailor. "And how came ye by the eye patch"?

"A seagull dropping fell into me eye", answered the pirate.

"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously.

"Well...." said the pirate, "....it was me first day with the 'ook."
