George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He never quite got a hang of pirate-speak.
His parrot Fred, on the other hand, spoke pirate-speak fluently.
And the parrot would correct George’s speech.
“That’s pieces of eight,” said Fred. “Not pieces of seven, you dummy.”
After a while, George stopped talking, but the parrot would persist with his verbal abuse.
George refused to give in, so the obnoxious parrot began to mimic George’s voice saying stupid things.
Completely fed up, George made Fred walk the plank.
“You do know I can fly, right?” said the parrot, laughing.
