Talk Like A Pirate Day   

That's right, mateys, just 19 more days till we be back to talkin' like the scallywags we are!  (Remember, grammar need NOT be correct when you're pirate talking!)

Now, before ye get started, here are the only three, true pirate jokes (these being pirate jokes, consider them rated PG - and I don't just be meaning pretty good!):

Thar be only three pirate jokes in the world. The biggest one is the one that ends with someone usin' "Arrr" in the punchline. Oh, sure, thar be plenty o' these, but they're all the same damn joke.

"What's the pirate movie rated? - Arrr!"
"What kind o' socks does a pirate wear? - Arrrrgyle!"
"What's the problem with the way a pirate speaks? - Arrrrticulation!"

...and so forth.

The second joke is the one wear the pirate walks into the bar with a ships wheel attached to the front o' his trousers. The bartender asks, "What the hell is that ships wheel for?" The pirate says, "I don't know, but it's drivin' me n*ts!"

And finally. A little boy is trick or treatin' on Halloween by himself. He is dressed as a pirate. At one house, a friendly man asks him, "Where are your buccaneers?" The little boy responds, "On either side o' me 'buccan' head!"

And there ye have it. A symposium on pirate humor that'll last ye a lifetime - so long as life is violent and short.

(Eternal gratitude to them fine folks at TLAP for that humor)
