An old pirate captain was having a talk with a young pirate captain out on the docks...
They joked for a bit until the young captain gets the courage to ask: “What happened to your leg?”
The old captain was eager to respond: “Oh this ‘ere leg? Well ye see lad, I was in a chase with an enemy ship when fired they fired ‘em large cannon balls at me beauty and one of them hit me leg! So now I got this ‘ere wooden one instead.” The pirate pat his wooden leg. “But ye bet I fed the fishes with that ship.”
The young pirate, intrigued, asked: “Well how did you get that hook for a hand?”
The pirate chuckled and told his story: “It was from a mutiny on me dear ship! I single handedly fought off the traitors, but not before their leader decided to chop of me hand right at this wrist ‘ere.” The captain held up his hook and shook it at the sky. “You bet I send that scallywag to Davy Jones’ Locker.”
The young pirate, not questioning the credibility of the old captain’s stories asks: “Say, and what about your eye?”
The old captain sighs: “Well lad, there was this darn bird circling me ship and driving me crazy! So I raised me hook up to curse at him when me wooden leg caused me to slip and fall on me back. That darn bird decided to poop in my eye!”
“So did your eye get infected and removed?” The young pirate asked.
“Nar, twas me first day with the hook.”
