George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
After he saw the lion tamer act at the circus, he traded in his cutlass and pistols for a bullwhip.
He practiced with it a lot, much to the chagrin of his shipmates, who learned quickly not to smoke cigarettes out on deck.
“HIYAH!” shouted George, as he lashed the bullwhip.
It struck a pirate’s ear with a loud crack, and they spat out their cigarette.
“Hey, I did manage to knock the cigarette out of your mouth,” said George.
The pirate tried to strangle George with the bullwhip.
