“George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.”
The billboards with those eleven words appeared across Southern California.
A few appeared in Portland, Oregon. And others in Seattle and Austin, Texas.
Nobody knew what it meant, or who had paid for them.
People asked George, but he had no idea either.
“Your guess is as good as mine,” he said.
Some people guessed that he was running for President.
Others thought it was an alien conspiracy.
“Okay, maybe your guesses aren’t as good as mine.”
The billboards vanished the next day, and soon after, were completely forgotten.
