Pirate Joke - Argh

A pirate walked into a bar and the bartender said,

"Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible."

"What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine."

"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."

"Well, we were in a battle and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now,"

"Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?"

"We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I'm fine, really."

"What about that eye patch?"

"Oh, one day we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up and one of them shit in my eye."

"You're kidding," said the bartender, "you couldn't lose an eye just from bird shit."

"It was my first day with the hook"

A Pirates Grave for Pirates Day

A good friend of mine, Stuart is an avid and adventurous traveler. A few years ago he went to Madagascar where he took this picture. An interesting bit of pirate trivia is that Madagascar became  a pirate stronghold. They used it as base to raid the  East India Company ships returning from the East  heading for Cape of Good Hope.

Not sure exactly who this was but lets pretend its William Kidd. Argh!
