THE SALTY DOG
A seaman meets a pirate in a bar. The pirate has a
peg leg, a hook and an eye patch. "How'd you end up
with a peg leg?" asks the sailor. "I was swept
overboard in a storm," says the pirate. "A shark bit
off me whole leg."
"Wow!" said the seaman. "What about the hook?"
"We were boarding an enemy ship, battling the other
sailors with swords. One of them cut me hand clean
off."
"Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "And the eye
patch?"
"A seagull dropping fell in me eye," replied the
pirate.
"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor
asked incredulously.
Said the pirate, "It was me first day with the hook."
