A Pirate at the Bar
A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and talk turns to their adventures on the sea. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, a hook, and an eye patch.
The seaman asks:
- So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?
The pirate replies:
- We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off.
- Wow! - said the seaman.
- What about your hook?
- Well - replied the pirate. We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand off.
- Incredible! - remarked the seaman.
- How did you get the eye patch?
- A seagull dropping fell into my eye - replied the pirate.
- You lost your eye to a seagull dropping? - the sailor asked incredulously.
- Well - said the pirate - it was my first day with my hook.
