A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!"

"What do you mean?" the pirate replies, "I'm fine."

The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."

"Well," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really."

"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."

"Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really."

"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."

"Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them crapped in my eye."

"So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird crap!"

"Well," says the pirate, "I really wasn't used to the hook yet."

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!"

The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on and led the crew to battle the pirate boarding party.

Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled. Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties. The crew cowered in fear, but the captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!"

Once again the battle was on. However, the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, though this time more casualties occurred.

Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's occurrences when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?"

The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid."

The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such a man. As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way.

The men became silent and looked to the Captain, their leader, for his usual command. The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!"

What does Bernard Matthews think of it all?
Bootiful!

One of my favourite memories of pirate movies, is Blackbeard (Robert Newton, of course), burying his treasure, and two bodies, and singing to himself

"There was a jolly miller,
Lived on the River Dee.
He looked beneath his piller,
And there he found a flea.
Ho ho ho ho hee hee, he cried with glee."

On the Talk Like a Pirate Day site there are some downloadable ring tones, anybody know if we can get these onto a US phone, the Captain Pugwash one would be great

Oh god, no!!! pleeeease no-one tell him, me hearties......

:lol:

(Thor isn't very impressed with "talk like a pirate day" by the way. :roll: <-that's him. Then this -> :evil:

If I had my way, the ringtones would all go silent, Along with the goddam phones. This is after trying to speak to a shop assistant while a loudmouth woman who was discussing last nights tv programs, on the phone, stood next in line.

Yes call me a dynosaur, although my daughters nag now and again for me to get a cell phone "for safety reasons".

So, I can't imagine anything as unsuitable and anachronistic as a cell playing pirate tunes.

Does anyone remember "The Crimson Pirate" 1952, Burt Lancaster and Nick Cravat? A fun tongue in cheek film.

I too absolutely hate the way it seems some people can't do their grocery shopping, or even drive a car without someone on the end of one of these things to give instructions!
I have one though, but I do at least try to be a considerate user. Don't know that I'd like to have pirate ringtones on it - the normal phone tone does it's job just fine.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum me hearties!

Long John Silver. "Ah-hahahahah ... Lord love me, lad. Don't you know that them that sailed with Admiral 'Awrke 'ad no speakin' acquaintance with pirates ... 'less'n they boarded us! Ah-hahahahah. Ar, Jim, you're the spit 'n' image o' me when I was your age. 'Ead full o' pirates. But ye'll find, same as I, that the biggest satisfaction a man gets is doin' 'is duty."
