It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day! And t’celebrate, I will tell you my favorite pirate joke.

Q: Why did the Pirates lose their health benefits in the labor dispute?

A: Because they didn’t have a good ARRRRRRRbitrator.

That’s unfortunate, because those health benefits really could’ve come in handy for new hooks, eye patches, and wooden legs. Arrrr.

    A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel on his crotch. The bartender strikes up a conversation with him. “So, what’s with the steering wheel?” he asks.

    The pirate replied “Arrrr, I know. It’s driving me nuts!”
