Oh well this is the PERFECT opportunity to wheel out my geriatric pirate joke!

A pirate walks into a bar, and he has a steering wheel down his trousers. The bartender asks him if he is aware that he has a steering wheel down his trousers and the pirate replies 'Arrrrr! 'Tis drivin' me nuts!'

Ithankyouverymuch ladies and gents! I'm here all week.

You any idea how hard it is to get hold of a parrot at such short notice!:rolleyes:

Talking of, and as Vik's put her pirate joke ...

A pirate has a parrot that keeps swearing. Every bad word you could think of this parrot would say and it was causing a lot of embarrassment to the pirate. So, the pirate decides that the parrot needs teaching a lesson. The next time the parrot swore he grabbed it from his shoulder and shoved it into the ship's freezer. After ten minutes the pirate thinks the parrot much have learnt his lesson so opens the door.

The parrot, blue and shivering, hops out of the freezer and looks up at the pirate. "Have you learnt your lesson?" asks the pirate. "Yes, but can I ask a question?", replies the parrot. "Sure, what do ye wanna know?" says the pirate.

Pointing a wing back at the freezer, the parrot asks, "What the **** did the chicken do to deserve that!?"


/me runs before you lot make him walk the plank

LOL at those jokes - brilliant!

National talk like a pirate day.. haha, love it!
That explains why I got an email earlier saying "Please click on this Facebook link, so that ##### can get a free pirate tshirt!":rolleyes:

After many years at sea, a pirate decided to retire. Since he had suffered injuries on the job, he thought that he should collect on his worker's compensation insurance. He had a wooden leg, a hook where his right hand should be and a patch over his right eye.

The agent assured him that he would be compensated if the injuries were work related. "How did you get the wooden leg?" asked the agent. In a booming voice the pirate replied, "Me and me mates were on the high seas when the boom swang 'round and knocked me into the sea where a shark bit off me leg."

The agent replied, "That is certainly work related. How did you lose your hand?" "Well matey, me and me mates were on the high seas when the boom swang 'round and knocked me into the sea where a shark bit off me hand," said the pirate.

"That's also work related. Now how did you lose your eye?" asked the agent. The pirate replied, "Well matey, I was laying on the deck one balmy day catching some rays when this seagull flew by and dropped his duty right in me eye!"

"What does that have to do with the loss of your eye?" said the agent.

"It were the first day with me hook!"
