George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
Where other pirates would yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, George preferred a glass of dry white wine.
George made sure to bring his own, because most pirate dives don’t carry much more than rum and grog.
However, he wasn’t good about bringing a corkscrew.
His dagger was to big to dig out the cork, and his cutlass was bigger than his dagger.
“Have you got a corkscrew?” he’d ask his shipmates.
He’d always have to resort to borrowing Lefty McGinty’s hook-hand.
Lefty bought George a corkscrew.
