George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He had a good attitude, though.
When he saw people, he’d say “Happy Tuesday!” or “Happy Thursday, it’s almost Friday!”
And not in a sarcastic way, either. He was genuinely happy that it was Tuesday or Thursday.
And when it was Friday, man was he happy.
Not that it meant anything. Because being a pirate is a seven-days-a-week job.
There are no weekends off for pirates.
But it gave George something to say and be happy about.
Even if the truth was that everyone was miserable, frustrated, and exhausted.
