George and Malcolm Gladwell

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
You know how scholar Malcolm Gladwell says that if you do something for ten thousand hours, you’ll get good at it?
It has something to do with practice and focus and expertise. Look it up.
Well, George has been a pirate for at least that long, and he’s still not a very good pirate.
In fact, I bet that Malcolm Gladwell is a better pirate than George.
If you see Malcolm Gladwell dressed as a pirate, looting and pillaging, run.
But if you see George, you can relax, okay?
