George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
The captain stripped George of his duties and made him safety officer.
“You’re an expert on unsafe things, considering how many accidents you’ve caused.”
George took to the new assignment quickly.
The smoke alarms took a while to get calibrated properly.
FIRE DRILL! shouted George when the alarms would go off by accident.
The men gathered on the deck, filling buckets with sea water to throw on the fire.
After the tenth false alarm, they tore out the smoke alarms, wrapped George with the wires, and threw him overboard.
