George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He was averse to stabbing.
Whether it was George doing the stabbing or others stabbing George, he was averse to it.
Some thought this to be cowardly, but hacking and slashing weren’t a problem for George.
Well, when George was doing the hacking and slashing.
When others were doing it, George was somewhat averse to those, obviously, but not as averse as he was to stabbing.
So, George wore armor. Very thick armor.
Under a giant foam-rubber pirate mascot outfit.
And, from inside, George loudly cheered on his crewmates.
