Many years ago, a man decided it was time to introduce his young son to an authentic pirate. So, they walked along the local docks past all the moored sloops until they saw a swarthy gent that seemed every ounce of a pirate.
“Excuse me”, said the man. “I notice you have a black eye patch, a peg leg and a hook for a hand. Are you a real pirate?”
“You bet I am”, he answered proudly.
“Swell, could you tell me how you lost your leg?”
“You bet”, answered the pirate. “Years ago, I fell overboard in rough seas and before I could be pulled aboard a giant Shark nipped my leg clean off. Well, I had a doc carve me a wooden peg leg that I’ve worn for over 25 years now.”
“Wow!” Said the man, “And can you tell us how you lost your hand?”
“Sure”, said the pirate proudly. “It was during a broadside by a British frigate and a cannon ball just cut it off as neat as could be. Again, an ole doc fashioned me this swell iron hook that I have been using ever since.”
“Amazing! And how did you lose your eye?”
“That was really a **** shame. One day I glanced up at the yard arm and damned if a seagull crapped in my right eye.”
“And that blinded you?” asked the man skeptically.
“No”, answered the pirate. “But it was me first day with the hook.”
“Excuse me”, said the man. “I notice you have a black eye patch, a peg leg and a hook for a hand. Are you a real pirate?”
