Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Q: Where do you keep yer buccanneers?
A: On yer buccan head.



So this guy is sitting in a bar, when a pirate sits down next to him. The pirate is in full regalia, complete with tricorn hat, eyepatch, pegleg, filthy old-fashioned clothing, and a hook where his right hand should have been. The guy tries to contain himself, but it's difficult, sitting next to a real-life pirate, and finally he cracks.

"Forgive my rudeness," he starts, "but I bet as a pirate, you've got a lot of incredible stories. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?"

"No," the pirate says, "ask away, matey!"

"Okay, how did you lose your leg?"

"I were sailin' down near Australia, laddie, and it was time for my annual bath. So as I were swimmin' around, a salt-water croc snuck up ahind me and nipped me leg off, right below the knee."

"Wow," the guy said, entranced. "How did you lose your hand?"

"That were later," the pirate says. "I were in Europe, and fightin' against the greatest swordsman of all time. I took me eyes off him for just an instant, to flash a smile at one of the fine lassies, and the scurvy dog slashed off me hand with a single blow!"

"Holy cow!" the guy wispers. "And your eye... how did you lose your eye?"

"That were later still, laddie," the pirate replies. "I were up in the crow's nest one day, scannin' the horizon fer ships to loot, and somethin' above me caught me eye. I looked up, and a seagull pooped right in me eye."

"Well," the guy says, "that's pretty disgusting, but I don't think it'd be enough to make you lose your eye entirely..."

The pirate interrupts, "T'were the day after I got me hook."

I, for one, object to this holiday in the name of the IPU. It's obviously an attempt to instruct our young in the religion of the FSM.

Yer drunk with technicalities mate! Aint no holy-day besides. Get the plank ready you scurvy slangrills!*


*Slangrill: an oaf.
This word courtesty of todays New York Times, Science Times section. A timely article on Ye Olde School swear words.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini
