George and lemons

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He didn’t like to loot and pillage like other pirates.
Instead, he liked to run his lemonade stand.
After all, sailors need Vitamin C to prevent scurvy, so might as well make it convenient and refreshing.
Even if sailors had their own supply of lemons and limes, there was something special about George’s lemonade that made it so popular.
Many came from all around to buy George’s lemonade.
After George retired from the lemonade stand, he finally divulged his secret ingredient.
“Rum,” said George, winking.
(Actually, it was vodka.)
