An able-bodied seaman met a pirate and they took turns recounting their adventures at sea.
Noting the pirate's pegleg, hook, and eye patch, the seaman asked, "So, how did you end up
with the pegleg?" "Well," said the pirate, "we was caught in a monster storm off the cape
and a giant wave swept me overboard. Just as they were pullin' me out, a school of
sharks appeared and one of 'em bit me leg off." "Blimey!" exclaimed the seaman.
"What about the hook?" "Ahhhh," continued the pirate, "we were boardin' a trader
ship, pistols blastin' and swords swingin' this way and that. Somehow I got me hand
got chopped off." "Zounds!" remarked the seaman. "And how came ye by the eye patch?"
"A seagull droppin' fell into me eye," answered the pirate. "You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously. "Agh," said the pirate, "it was me first day with the hook."
