(115,683 posts)A pirate walks into a bar and orders a pint of whatever passes for grog these days. The bartender notices that the pirate has a peg leg, a hook for a right hand, and an eye patch; and of course he's curious to know how the pirate got his injuries. He says to the pirate, "I hope you don't mine me asking, but how did you lose your leg?"
The pirate answers, "Argh, matey, I got me leg blown off in a fierce battle at sea. I were the captain o' me galleon when I were hit with grape shot. Took 'er clean off."
The bartender says, "That must have been awful! Your next pint is on the house. So what about your hand?"
"That were another battle. I were lucky again, matey, and me first mate made this hook for me."
"And what happened to your eye?"
"Oh, that was on account of them accursed sea gulls. One of 'em shat right in me eye."
"But how in the world did sea gull shit cause you to actually lose your eye?" asked the bartender, pouring the pirate another pint.
"Arghh, matey, that were right after I got me hook.."

Your reference to a software patch hit home because he is also an IT tech.
I am pretty sure he went to work with a smile today. He called the song "Gold".
