George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
The governor called for evacuations because of an imminent hurricane, so a lot of people ran out of gas on the freeways and got stuck.
George convinced pirates to pick up as many people as they could and sail away to safety.
Of course, the pirates held the people for ransom, but were reasonable and offered hurricane discounts.
And it wasn’t exactly brutal kidnapping, either. Most just partied and had a good time on their boats.
“That was great!” most people said. “I can’t wait for the next hurricane!”
