George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
Which led to a lot of damage to the ship, and time at the dock for repairs.
George drew up plans and made a list of things needed for repairs:
Boards, saws, nails, screws, pitch and tar…
The problem was, George had proudly adopted the Metric System.
While his crewmates used the English Imperial system.
Measurements were way off, and the ship ended up a patchwork mess.
The captain made George walk the plank.
Which was three meters long, not three feet.
George fell in the shark-infested water anyway.
