George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He was always writing things down, but he never bothered to read any of his notes.
So, he ended up writing even more things down.
Which he also never read.
Pretty soon, George was up to his neck in notes.
“Stop writing so many notes,” George wrote on a note, and he added it to the pile.
Pretty soon, the entire ship was full of tons of useless notes. So full, it capsized and sank.
George went down with the ship, having failed to read his “Replace lifeboat” note.
