George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He spent a lot of time swabbing the deck.
Every now and then, he’d pause and look at his reflection in the mop bucket.
Sometimes, he’d talk to himself.
The other pirates found this disturbing, and they asked the captain to do something.
“Maybe if you stopped shunning him and actually treated him nicely, he wouldn’t have to talk to himself in a bucket?” said the captain.
The crew pondered this, and then dumped the bucket on George’s head and pushed him overboard.
“That works too,” said the captain.
