George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
When he first applied for jobs, he didn’t have much experience, so he padded his resume a bit.
George figured that what he didn’t know already, which was a lot, he could learn on the job.
Pirates aren’t good at checking references, and they tend to be a boisterous and boastful lot, anyway.
Always shouting about Davy Jones’ Locker and treasure maps and crap like that.
So, George got the job, and he started immediately.
And he started causing problems immediately.
He never did learn much on the job.
