If a Seagull Did That, I’d Hate to See an Eagle. . .
A joke I learned while working on tug boats in the western Arctic, NWT: A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and they take turns telling of their adventures on the high seas. The seaman notices that the pirate has a peg-leg, hook and eye patch. The seaman asks, "So how did you end up with the peg-leg?" The pirate replies, "We were in a storm at sea and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off." "Wow!" says the seaman. "What about your hook?" "Well," replies the pirate, "we were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand off." "Incredible!" remarks the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch?" "Seagull dropping fell into my eye," replies the pirate. "You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asks incredulously. "Well," says the pirate, "it was my first day with the hook." Submitted By: NULL
