I have a really funny joke about a pirate and a steering wheel. :D

So I won't get "spoken to" by the Mods, once again, I will refrain from telling it. :D :D

Feel free to PM me if you're interested. :D
 
"Grab My Grog"? I don't think that's legal in Oklahoma. Avast, ye slimy bilge rats! Shiver me timbers, or me scuppers, or both, if need be! We be bound for the Southern Cross! Hast any of ye googled the directions?!
 
The sad thing about this is that it's actually "Talk Like Actor Robert Newton Doing A Broad West Country English Accent, At Least Half Drunk, While Playing Long John Silver In A Disney Flick Day".

Now everybody thinks that's how all pirates talked in those days.

Of course, now many have Somali accents, but that's another story.

Avarst heavin', ye lubberly swabs, me cookin' be'ent that bad! ;)
 
An old sea dog was seated at the bar when two young lads walked in.

Guessing the old sailor had some interesting stories, they struck up a conversation.

"I see you have a peg leg, how did you lose your leg?" asked the first lad.

"Was whaling in the north sea, I harpooned a big white one. The rope wrapped around me leg at the knee & burned it off, it did. Lost me leg that day on the north sea."

"WOW, that's a terrible loss, did you lose your hand then too?" asked the other lad.

"No mateys, we were sailing around the horn in fowl weather, thhe spinnaker broke loose & while trying to make it fast again, my hand got pinched tween spinnaker & main mast. Pinched me hand off at the wrist, it did."

"A sailor's life can be dangerous for sure, but you sure seem tough enough to take it" commented the first lad, "tell us about your eye patch, how did you lose your eye?"

"Was sailing past Catalina on a fine summer eve, we were. On deck enjoying the breeze, a wee gnat flew into me eye & put it out, it did."

"Since when will a gnat put your eye out?" they asked.

"Since it was the first day I had me new hook" was his answer.
 
Arrrr...back at ye!

I think that guy is just way to prissy to be a real pirate. Robert Newton and Errol Flynn would be spinnin' their graves.....

Geena Davis was a much manlier pirate in Cutthroat Island. Maybe not as pretty but certainly a lot tougher and more manly.

Johnny Depp you thilly pirate you. I'll hit you with my purth! :rolleyes:
 
Arrrrrgh! Curses! Strike me down fer a bloody lubber, I almost forgot "Talk like a pirate day"!

Calm seas and bountiful plunder to all ye foine lads, and may yer foes all perish like the scurvy bilge rats they be!
 
Argh and Ahoy!

It be a funnie thing, but 10 or so yarns ago, me oldest boy got into the me wifes laptop and did somep'n to convert alls har email to read in pirate jargan. Drove da wench nuts for weeks till he'n undid his dastadly deed. :-)
