I never could roll my Arrrr's...was a great source of entertainment and frustration for my husband. I do have other redeeming qualities, I think Image

"How did it go down with the troops, Dane?"

Quite well, Howard...with the ones who were worth their rum ration, anyway...

Incidentally, to avoid panic in the passageways and/or issues of sexual privacy, the Navy does not make use of the phrase "go down" except in cases of dire emergency....and they're not 'troops', they are 'swabs'...or, if you prefer, 'squids' or 'anchor clankers'...

Remember, make fast the mizzenmast (whatever that means)...and if you must chunder, do it over the leeward rail.

BLAAAARRRRRRRRRRGH!

"I never could roll my Arrrr's...was a great source of entertainment and frustration..."

I had a hard time with that as well, but one day WAY back when, my Spanish teacher stood in front of me doing it over and over, spraying spit on me as she did it. I mean, she was just trying to show me how it was done...

I couldn't take it anymore and I blurted out the smart azz remark "Mrs. Miranda, you must be one hot Tamale...your husband MUST love that"..... I was thrown out of Spanish from that day forward.... Image

A pirate captain walked into a bar with the ship's wheel in his pants.

The bartender said, "I have to ask -do you know there is a ship's wheel in your pants?"

The captain responded, "Yarrrr, it's driving me nuts."

When we took a trip to Galveston last winter we spotted a surf shop called "Gnarly Dick's," which had us all doubled over with laughter--what a great pirate name! Image
