(115,613 posts)Of course the pirate has a peg leg, a hook and an eye patch. The bartender asks him how he lost his leg, and he says, "Aargh, matey, I lost me leg in a battle at sea when a cannonball hit me."
"That's too bad," says the bartender. "So how did you lose your hand?"
"That were another battle, matey. Mad Jack sliced 'er right off. Stung some, it did."
"Tough break. And what happened to your eye?"
"Ah, matey, that were on account o' a sea gull that shat in me eye."
"Why would sea gull crap cause you to lose your eye?"
"Well, matey, that were right after I got me hook..."
