George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
While his shipmates pillaged and looted a place, he offered to write receipts so that the victims could file an insurance claim.
And he’d offer to provide testimony during claim disputes.
His shipmates considered him a traitor. The Captain thought him insane.
“It’s not any overwhelming sense of guilt,” said George. “They’ll win their claim, buy all new stuff, and then write me a note of gratitude.”
“And this is good why exactly?” asked The Captain.
“So we can rob them all over again.”
The Captain laughed and smiled.
