A captain of his ship was sailing the seas one afternoon, when suddenly over the horizon a pirate ship was seen. The captain yells “Everyone prepare for battle, and hand me my red jacket.” To which one of the crew members complied and handed him his jacket which he put on. The battle ended victoriously for the ship and his captain and they continued on in their voyage. Later, they again spotted pirates, this time two ships were a approaching. “Men, we must go to battle again! Someone get me my red jacket!” And a crew member brought the jacket and the captain put it on. After a fierce war, and a truly stunning effort of the ships crew, the pirates were defeated. Noticing a trend, one of the ships crew members approaches the captain, “Why is it every time we go to war with another ship, you request to wear your red jacket?” To which the captain replies, “Well, if for some reason I should be injured and bleed, the red jacket will not show my wounds and thus the crew will not be alarmed and worried of my condition.” The crew member agrees that this is a good strategy and continues with his work. Later that day over the horizon, a massive fleet of pirate ships, 10 in all, come over the horizon. The nervous crew looks up at the captain and he yells “Everyone prepare for battle, and hand me my brown pants!”

A pirate walks off his ship. He has a wooden leg, a hook for a hand, and a patch over his right eye. He sits down on a bench, and begins throwing peanuts to the seagulls. Two curious young children shyly sit down next to him and ask the pirate how he came to have a wooden leg.

The pirate replies, “Well, I was standing on the deck of me ship one day, and a wave washed me overboard. Then, a hungry shark attacked me and bit me leg off.” The little boy then asks, “How did you lose your hand?”

“Many years ago, I was fighting the Navy, and one of them boys cut me hand off. Me doc couldn’t find a hand, so he gave me this hook.” Next, the little girl asks, “How did you lose your eye?”

“Well, I was standing watch up in the crow’s nest, and just as I looked up, a lousy seagull flew over and did his business right in me eye.” The children, now thoroughly confused, ask, “How did that cause you to lose your eye?”

The pirate explains, “Well, it was me first day with the hook.”
