George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
So when the captain promoted him to Assistant Manager, the rest of the crew were all furious.
“George may not have basic pirate skills,” said the captain. “But he’s got people skills.”
The captain went back to his cabin, put his feet up on his desk, and waited for the crew to hang George.
Instead, they beat down his door, dragged him to the deck, and threw a rope around his neck.
“George should be captain,” said the crew.
“People skills,” grumbled the captain, as they hoisted him up.
