George the Tax Expert

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
But he was good at preparing and filing taxes for his shipmates.
With practice, he was able to generate exemptions and refunds that were more lucrative than any treasure chest or pillaging raid.
Pretty soon, the pirates no longer had to pillage and loot and plunder to make a living.
They sat back, enjoyed life, and let George handle the paperwork.
Eventually, other pirates realized what was going on, and they all ganged up on George’s crew.
“So this is how it feels,” mumbled George, preparing to repel boarders.
