George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He was heading out of the harbor when a family in an old junk struck his ship.
George’s ship was fine, for the most part, but the old junk was badly damaged.
George felt bad that the man’s junk was damaged, but it was the junk that struck his ship, not the other way around.
Still, out of sympathy, he offered them a ride back to port.
The next day, the family’s lawyer came aboard to threaten George with a lawsuit.
Without sympathy, George made him walk the plank.
