George in a museum

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
This didn’t matter to graverobbers. They just wanted pirate corpses that they could sell to museums, where they were stuffed and displayed in historically accurate dioramas.
Schoolkids would walk past the scenes, going “YARRRRRR!” and swaggering like Johnny Depp in those movies.
Then they’d beg their parents to buy them plastic swords and eyepatches and cheap paper pirate hats from the gift shop.
Or they’d steal something from the dioramas. Sometimes, they’d knock over a figure.
Raising the next generation of thieves and plunderers.
George would be so proud.
