George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He never learned The Pirate Code.
So, the time when he ended up in prison, he was woken up by the strange tapping on the stone wall.
He’d summon the guards to complain, and the guards would nod and open the cell next to him.
“I was trying to tell you that we’re breaking out tonight, you idiot!” shouted the prisoner being dragged off.
“Oh, okay!” shouted George back. “Thank you!”
George slept peacefully… until he heard the chiseling in the wall.
He summoned the guards to complain again.
