George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
The captain was always looking for things for George to do, other than pirate stuff.
When the captain learned of an upcoming solar eclipse, he sailed into the total eclipse path.
“George, I know what you can do,” he said. “We don’t have time to sail to Walmart to get those special eclipse filter glasses. Can you scrounge the cargo hold and make some for us?”
George tried. And, well…
After the eclipse, the crew were covering their eyes and screaming.
“I’m sorry,” said George. “I’ll make more eyepatches.”
