George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
But he was nothing compared to the blundering cabin boy.
That kid was a total disaster.
The captain was constantly shouting “I’ll have your guts for garters!” at him.
This gave George an idea.
One night, George kidnapped the cabin boy and took him to a tailor.
“Can you make garters out of his guts?” asked George. “It’s for a gift.”
The tailor refused. As did every other tailor in town.
So, George made an ashtray out of the cabin boy’s skull.
“But I don’t smoke,” said the captain.
