George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He never learned proper pirate-speak.
So, he scrawled a cheat sheet on his arm, but the ink washed off every time he fell into the water.
George fell into the water a lot.
He wanted to get the cheat sheet tattooed on his arm, but no self-respecting tattoo artist would agree to do it.
“We do mermaids and anchors,” said the Tattoo Artist’s Guildmaster. “If you’re too stupid to remember the words, just say YARRRRRR! a lot, okay?”
George smiled and said AVAST!
“Landlubber,” grumbled the captain.
